Spectrophotometry uses the principle that molecules absorb specific wavelengths of light. A spectrophotometer directs a beam of light through a sample and measures the amount of light absorbed. It contains a light source, wavelength selector like a prism or grating to produce monochromatic light, sample holders, a detector to measure transmitted light intensity, and a readout device. It works based on Beer's law, where absorbance is directly proportional to concentration, molar absorptivity, and path length. This allows spectrophotometry to quantify the concentration of an analyte by its optical properties.
A spectrophotometer is an instrument containing a monochromator, a device which produces a light beam containing wavelengths in a narrow band around a selected wavelength, and a means of measuring the ratio of that beam's intensity as it enters and leaves a cuvette 99 This describes a single-beam photometer.

Visible Spectrophotometry and Colorimetry.pptx
Color comparison was one of the oldest methods used for quantitative
estimation of elements and substances. The variation of a color of a system with change
in concentration of some components forms the basis of colorimetric analysis. The color
is usually due to the formation of a colored compound by the addition of an appropriate
reagent at specific condition or it may be inherent in the desired constituent itself. The
intensity of the color may then be compared with that obtained by treating a known
amount of the substance in the same manner. Colorimetry is concerned with the
determination of the concentration of a substance by measurement of the relative
absorption of light with respect to a known concentration of a substance. In visual
colorimetry, natural or artificial white light.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION OF SPECTROPHOTOMETRY IN DISEASE DIAGNOSIS
Absorption : UV/Visible/IR
• Certain molecules absorb light in a characteristic way: helps
to identify and quantify biological molecules
• Absorption occurs when the energy contained in a photon is
absorbed by an electron resulting in a transition to an excited
state
• The absorption efficiency of an analyte is affected by: The
nature of the analyte, number of available microstates, The
solvent
• Absorption spectroscopy: Bioanalytical methods; signal
intensity is directly proportional to the concentration
2. • Pigment Chlorophyll- which absorbs light;
in the blue and red region of the visible light
spectrum.
• For this reason, leaves are- green (because
they reflect green).
• If Leaf is extracted in an organic solvent, the
leaf extract (containing the solute chlorophyll)
with a high chlorophyll content will produce:
dark green colour
• A leaf extract with a low chlorophyll content
will yield a pale green extract.
Spectrophotometry is
• a mean of measuring how densely green
the solution is.(concentration)

11. Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry
• Light can either be transmitted or absorbed by dissolved
substances
• Presence & concentration of dissolved substances is analyzed
by passing light through the sample
• Spectroscopes measure electromagnetic emission
• Spectrophotometers measure electromagnetic absorption
• Principle: Based on Beer Lambert’s LAW
12. Spectrometer produces the light of desired wavelength and it
passes through the tube and reaches photometer that measures its
intensity.
Then the photometer produces a voltage signal to a display
device, usually a galvanometer.
As the amount of light absorbed by the liquid changes; the
signal also changes.
The concentration of a substance in solution can be measured by
calculating the amount of absorption of light at the appropriate
wavelength or a particular colour
Reading of Spectrophotometer: (Number)- Absorbance that is
directly proportional to the color intensity, and also the
concentration of the species responsible for the color.
13. • To use absorbance for analytical purposes, a calibration
curve must be generated by measuring the absorbance
of several solutions that contain known concentrations of
analyte.
If development of color is linked to the concentration of
a substance in solution then: That concentration can be
measured by determining the extent of absorption of
light at the appropriate wavelength.
For example : Hemoglobin appears red
• Hemoglobin absorbs blue and green light rays much
more effectively than red.)
• Thus, The degree of absorbance of blue or green light is
proportional to the concentration of hemoglobin.

16. BEER–LAMBERT’S LAW
(Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law)
• Relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material
through which the light is travelling.
BEER'S LAW
• When monochromatic light (light of a specific wavelength) passes
through a solution there is usually a quantitative relationship
between the solute concentration and the intensity of the
transmitted light
• The amount of light absorbed by the a medium ( solution/ sample)
is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing material or
solute present.
• Thus the concentration of a coloured solute in a solution may
be determined in the lab by measuring the ABSORBANCY OF
LIGHT AT A GIVEN WAVELENGTH
17. BEER–LAMBERT’S LAW (Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law)
….contd
LAMBERT'S LAW
o Lambert described how intensity changes
with distance in an absorbing medium.
o The amount of light absorbed by the a
medium ( solution/ sample) at a given
wavelength is proportional to thickness of the
absorbing layer: path length of the light
18. Beer – Lambert Law
States that the Absorbance (O.D) of a solution is
directly proportional to the concentration of the
absorbing species in the solution and the path
length.
The fraction of the incident light absorbed by a solution at a given wavelength is
related to
a. thickness of the absorbing layer (path length) and
b. concentration of the absorbing species
19. Transmittance
Defined as the ratio of the intensity of light emerging from the
solution (I) to that of incident light entering (Io)
There is a logarithmic dependence between the transmission (or
transmissivity), T, of light through a substance and
The product of : the absorption coefficient of the substance, α,
and the distance the light travels through the material (i.e. the
path length), ℓ.

22. IMPLICATIONS OF BEER-LAMBERTS LAW
• The absorbance (A) becomes linear with the
concentration ( C; number density of absorbers)
• Thus, if the path length and the Molar absorptivity ae
known; & the absorbance is measured: The
concentration of the substance (or the number

• White light radiation source that passes through a MONOCHROMATOR ( prism
or a diffraction grating that separates the white light into all colors of the
visible spectrum) .
• After the light is separated, it passes through a FILTER (to block out unwanted
light, sometimes light of a different color) and a SLIT (to narrow the beam of
light).
• Next the beam of light passes through the SAMPLE that is in the sample
holder.(cuvette)
• The light passes through the sample and the unabsorbed portion (reflected)
strikes a PHOTODETECTOR that produces an electrical signal which is
proportional to the intensity of the light.
• The signal is then converted to A READABLE OUTPUT (absorbance )that is
used in the analysis of the sample.
• Calibration curve : generated by measuring the absorbance of several
solutions that contain known concentrations of analyte.

Paints Industries, Water Laboratories
In Disease diagnosis/ Pathological states (changes):
detected by the analysis of various samples.,taken from
the body : are analyzed in three different areas –
Chemistry, Hematology and Microbiology section
Blood (the blood plasma, and the formed elements – the
blood cells )- The most common substance for analysis
44. TYPES AND APPLICATION OF SPECTROSCOPY…contd
Types of Spectroscopy
Absorption Spectroscopy :
The power of a beam of light measured before and after
interaction with a sample is compared.
Specific absorption techniques tend to be referred to by the
wavelength of radiation measured such as ultraviolet, infrared or
microwave absorption spectroscopy
Absorption occurs when the energy of the photons matches the
energy difference between two states of the material.
The absorption of ultraviolet radiation by molecules is
dependent upon the electronic structure of the molecule. So the
ultraviolet spectrum is called electronic spectrum
45. Ultraviolet Spectroscopy
All atoms absorb in the Ultraviolet (UV) region because these
photons are energetic enough to excite outer electrons.
Used in quantifying protein and DNA concentration, the ratio of
protein to DNA concentration in a solution; Amino Acids
(aromatic), Pantothenic Acid, Glucose Determination and Enzyme
Activity (Hexokinase)
Several amino acids usually found in protein, such as tryptophan,
absorb light in the 280 nm range and DNA absorbs light in the
260 nm range. (Ratio of 260/280 nm absorbance- general indicator
of the relative purity of a solution)
Used as a detector for high performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC). The presence of an analyte gives a response which can be
assumed to be proportional to the concentration
46. Visible Spectroscopy
Many atoms emit or absorb visible light.
In order to obtain a fine line spectrum, the atoms must be in
a gas phase.
This means that the substance has to be vaporised.
The spectrum is studied in absorption or emission.
Often combined : UV absorption spectroscopy in UV/Vis
spectroscopy.
spectroscopy
Applications- Estimation of : Niacin, Pyridoxine, Vitamin
B12, Metal Determination (Fe), Fat-quality Determination
(TBA) and Enzyme Activity (glucose oxidase)
47. Infrared Spectroscopy
• The IR spectral region Further subdivided into ; near-infrared
(NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR) based on
wavelength.
• The MIR region : most familiar to the organic chemist as
offers the possibility to measure different types of
interatomic bond vibrations at different frequencies.
• In organic chemistry the analysis of IR absorption spectra
shows types of bonds are present in the sample.
• IR-based methods: Most common clinical analytical tests,
those involving serum, whole blood, and urine.; fluids that
are less commonly assayed (e.g. saliva and amniotic fluid)
48. Near /Mid Infrared Spectroscopy
• Near Infrared Spectroscopy : NIRange, immediately beyond the
visible wavelength range, -Much greater penetration depth into the
sample than in the case of mid IR spectroscopy range.
• Allows large samples to be measured in each scan
• Practical applications : Medical diagnosis,,
pharmaceuticals/medicines, biotechnology, genomics analysis,
proteomic analysis, interatomics research, inline textile monitoring,
food analysis and chemical imaging/hyperspectral imaging of intact
organisms, agricultural: rapid grain analysis; insect detection
• Forensic lab application, crime detection and various military
applications.
• To identify changes in biofluid metabolite concentrations reflecting
site and mechanism-specific toxicity, to define novel indices of toxic
insult, to evaluate control data, to monitor disease progression and
response to therapeutic intervention and to track progression and
regression of toxin-induced lesions over a time period
49.
50. X-Ray Spectroscopy
• When X-rays of sufficient frequency (energy) interact with a
substance, inner shell electrons in the atom are excited to
outer empty orbitals, or they may be removed completely,
ionizing the atom.
The inner shell "hole" will then be filled by electrons from
outer orbitals.
The energy available in this de-excitation process is emitted
as radiation (fluorescence) or will remove other less-bound
electrons from the atom (Auger effect).
The absorption or emission frequencies (energies) are
characteristic of the specific atom.
Used in chemistry and material sciences to determine
elemental composition and chemical bonding.
51. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy -
Uses a pre-burner nebulizer (or nebulizing chamber) to
create a sample mist and a slot-shaped burner that
gives a longer path length flame.
The nebulizer and flame are used to desolvate and
atomize the sample, but the excitation of the analyte
atoms is done by the use of lamps shining through the
flame at various wavelengths for each type of analyte.
The amount of light absorbed after going through the
flame determines the amount of analyte in the sample.
A graphite furnace for heating the sample to desolvate
and atomize is commonly used for greater sensitivity.
Good sensitivity and selectivity: Used for trace
elements in aqueous (and other liquid) samples.
52. Photo Emission Spectroscopy
Photoelectron spectroscopy
Refers to energy measurement of electrons emitted
from solids, gases or liquids by the photoelectric effect,
in order to determine the binding energies of electrons in
a substance.
Various techniques, depending on whether the
ionization energy is provided by an X-ray photon or an
ultraviolet photon.
53. Mass Spectroscopy
• Unique among the various techniques
• Mass spectrometry: Highly sensitive detection and
identification technique, allowing determination of molecular
structures, and thus of a sample’s composition
• Weigh atoms, molecules, cluster, nano-particle, virus, cell
and etc. In general, it can only determine mass (mass-to-
charge ratio (M/Z) for a particle in gas phase.)
• .For most mass spectrometers, Z is equal to 1 so that mass
can be determined
• Involves the interaction of electromagnetic radiation or some
form of energy with molecules.
• The molecules absorb the radiation and produce a spectrum : during
absorption process or as the excited molecules return to the ground state.

• Interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiation also
give rise to scattering processes, such as elastic scattering, and
inelastic scattering
• It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of
monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near
infrared, or near ultraviolet range.
• The laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, phonons or
other excitations in the system, resulting in the energy of the
laser photons being shifted up or down.
• The shift in energy gives information about the phonon modes
in the system.
• This process,it takes place with no change in frequency
• for the radiation forming the beam involved.
• To study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency
59. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
• Analyses the magnetic properties of
certain atomic nuclei to determine different
electronic local environments of hydrogen,
carbon, or other atoms in an organic
compound or other compound
• Used to determine the structure of the
compound.

Editor's Notes
The presence and concentration of various substances dissolved in a water sample is commonly analyzed by passing different types of light (visible, infrared, or UV) through the sample. Light can either be transmitted or absorbed by the dissolved substances.
