Anderson Materials specializes in UV-Vis Analysis Services. We focus on finding the absorption and reflectance of ultraviolet and visible light in solutions and materials. Our services help measure the concentration of colored or UV-absorbing ingredients in solutions, assess material reflectance, and perform thorough quality control testing.
Our UV-Vis Analysis Services
- Absorption Analysis:
- Determine Absorption: Find the absorption of UV and visible light in solutions using UV-Vis Spectroscopy.
- Measure Concentration: Measure the concentration of colored or UV-absorbing ingredients in solutions.
- Detect Species: Identify and quantify species that do not naturally absorb light by adding chromophores.
- Reflectance Testing:
- Fingerprint Products: Perform specular and diffuse reflectance measurements to protect against fraud by detecting and documenting color and texture differences.
- Measure Color: Assess color by wavelength of absorption or reflectance.
- Conduct Measurements: Perform specular reflectance measurements at normal incidence and diffuse reflection measurements at 45 degrees or by using an integrating sphere.
Applications for UV-Vis Testing
- Water Quality Testing:
- Measure Metal Ions: Detect concentrations of lead, copper, iron, cadmium, mercury, and other metal ions in water.
- Fluid Composition Analysis:
- Detect Changes: Identify changes in antifreeze or windshield washing fluid compositions over time.
- Beverage Quality Control:
- Ensure Quality: Check the quality of sodas, wines, beers, whiskies, and liqueurs using absorbance spectra.
- Oil Characterization:
- Analyze Changes: Characterize changes in motor oils with use to ensure optimal performance.
- Contaminant Detection:
- Detect Soluble Contaminants: Identify soluble surface contamination removed by solvents.
- Measure Organic Contaminants: Detect and measure organic contaminants in solvents.
- Transmission Measurements:
- Measure Transmission: Assess the transmission of liquids and transparent materials (e.g., glasses, polymers, sapphire) at wavelengths between 200 and 850 nm.
- Index of Refraction: Determine the index of refraction of thin films on substrates.
- Evaluate UV Protection: Evaluate the UV transmission reduction capabilities of polymer films, coatings, and packages.
