Analytik Jena UK is offering a free CD, entitled: 'Fundamentals - Instruments and Techniques of UV/Vis Spectroscopy'.
Copies of the CD can be requested from the Analytik Jena UK website.
Instrumental basics, including single-beam, double-beam and diode array configurations, and the effect of the exit slit on spectral resolution are covered, as well as basic usage for qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis and kinetics.
Further applications, such as protein and DNA analysis, DNA melting point determination, derivative spectroscopy, colour analysis and determination of layer thickness are also discussed and backed up by some practical application examples.
Instrument accessories available are also reviewed, ranging from simple cuvettes and microcells to flow cells and cuvette changers.
Since UV/Vis spectroscopy can also be used for solid samples, the CD covers the accessories needed for this, including holders for solid samples and reflectance attachments.
There is also a section on fibre-optic measuring probes, for online measurements outside the instrument.
