Spectroelectrochemistry – Part 1: Getting Started
29 Mar 2017This application note is part 1 of a series of notes introducing Gamry’s spectroelectrochemistry system. It begins with the basics of spectroscopy and explains important parameters and terms. In addition, the general setup to perform spectroelectrochemical experiments is shown and the function of each part is discussed. Finally, Gamry Instruments’ spectroelectrochemical equipment is introduced – spectrometer, light source, cuvette holder and fiber bundles. Part 2 of this application note series gives examples of Gamry’s Framework and its experiments.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.

The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
