Spectrophotometers allow researchers to accurately and reliably quantify concentrations of target compounds, detect and quantify impurities, and observe chemical. typically found in either single or double beam configurations, spectrophotometers have become core instruments in labs around the world thanks to their precision, accuracy, and high throughput capabilities.
Single beam spectrophotometers analyze samples by passing a single beam through a reference standard to measure intensity before the sample is loaded. While these instruments tend to be lower cost and offer excellent sensitivity, dual beam spectrophotometers are often more stable and have improved ease of use. In a dual beam spectrophotometer the beam is split, with one beam passing through the sample and the other through the reference standard.
While the most common wavelengths spectrophotometers operate at includes ultraviolet, visible, and infrared, modern spectrophotometers have expanded ranges which can include large swaths of the spectrum including x-ray, infrared, or even microwave wavelengths.
First developed by Arnold O. Beckman in 1940, spectrophotometers have become a staple of biochemistry labs around the world in the time since.
