Use of Laboratory Spectrometers
Spectrophotometers are essential laboratory instruments used to analyze biological samples by measuring light interactions such as absorbance, reflectance, transmittance, and fluorescence. Using different wavelengths helps scientists study how light passes through samples. Researchers use this data as valuable scientific information for further investigations. The transmittance of the sample is measured by a photosensitive detector or group of detectors, placed behind the sample. By measuring the interaction of light with matter, these instruments provide critical data for quantitative and qualitative analyses.
