    Study Notes

    Chromatography

    • Chromatography is a technique used to separate and identify substances within a mixture.
    • It has wide applications in industrial pharmacy.
    • Common types of chromatography include Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography (GC).

    Spectroscopic Techniques

    • Spectroscopic techniques utilize light to analyze substances.
    • Some examples of these techniques include:
      • Ultraviolet and Visible (UV-VIS) Spectroscopy
      • Atomic Spectroscopy
      • Infrared Spectroscopy
      • Raman Spectroscopy
      • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
      • Mass Spectroscopy

    UV-Visible Spectroscopy

    • A UV-vis spectrophotometer measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light absorbed by a sample.
    • It is a widely used technique for identifying and quantifying compounds across various fields.
    • A sample must contain a chromophore to be analyzed in the UV-Vis region.
    • The UV-Vis spectrophotometer operates by transmitting a light beam through the sample.
    • The amount of light absorbed at each wavelength is measured and is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing compound in the sample.
    • Creating calibration curves is essential for quantitative analysis.
