A few chemical samples show more when their light is studied than when they measure the light that is absorbed by them. That’s where fluorescence spectroscopy comes in useful. In Nigeria, the technique can be used to aid investigations in chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, environment, and materials studies in science labs. FTIR Spectro is a fluorescence spectrophotometer manufacturer for various laboratories requiring analytical tools for scientific research, education, and specific testing applications.
Depending on the applications, the measurement requirements, and the laboratory setup, we help institutions explore the ideal equipment for the job, making instrument selection more practical for current lab facilities as well as labs developing their analytical capabilities.
When Your Research Needs More Than Absorbance Measurements
A fluorescence spectrophotometer is an instrument that determines the intensity of emission of light energy by the sample after its excitation by light energy at a certain wavelength. This emitted light can be used to analyze fluorescent molecules, compare them, and also approximate the concentration of the proper molecule using a proper calibration process.
For instance, it enables one to have information about the biomolecules that would be difficult to obtain if one were measuring absorbance in case of fluorescent dyes or photoluminescent compounds. The information is based on the sensitivity of the instrument, wavelength chosen, and the detector efficiency.
Applications Across Nigerian Science and Research Laboratories
The applications of the fluorescence spectrophotometer rely on the questions a lab should be capable of answering. Examples of typical applications are:
Chemistry Laboratories: Familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the fluorescent compounds, reaction sequence, and some of the quantitative analysis methods.
Biological/Biotechnological Research: Investigate proteins, nucleic acids, fluorescent tagging, and biomolecular interactions in an appropriate manner.
Pharmaceutical Research: Analyze the fluorescent compounds and participate in some pharmaceutical studies and controls.
Environmental Research: Conduct research on fluorescent organic substances and special water quality research.
Research Institutes/Universities: Conduct experiments using excitation emission spectra, fluorescence of the substance, and photoluminescence.
The applications are not of a specification that fits all, but an instrument that fits the sample and analytical method.
How to Select the Right Fluorescence Spectrophotometer
When selecting the spectrophotometer, there are certain things that need consideration. Always think about the wavelength range in which the detector will be able to detect the excitation and emission radiation, sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, accuracy of the wavelength, scanability in the wavelength range, and sample holder compatibility before the purchase. The laboratory should also take into consideration the nature of the samples that are going to be measured, the mode of measurements, and whether accessories are available for this purpose.
In the case of institutions in Nigeria, planning for procurement is also necessary. Before making a final purchase, product documentation, operating requirements, installation considerations, user training, and access to technical assistance should be considered. These factors are well understood by the buyer and enable him or her to select equipment for a research program and for long-term laboratory requirements.
