Ultraviolet (UV) absorption analysis

Ultraviolet (UV) absorption analysis is a technique used to measure how much a substance absorbs UV light. When UV light passes through a sample, certain molecules absorb specific wavelengths, creating an absorption pattern. By analyzing these patterns, scientists can identify and quantify substances, such as proteins or chemicals, in the sample. This method is precise, quick, and widely used in laboratories for research, quality control, and detecting components in various materials. Essentially, it's a way to use light to learn about the composition and concentration of substances within a sample.
