Measuring Diverse Samples with UV/VIS Spectrometers and Integrating Spheres

UV/VIS spectrometers are traditionally used for well-dissolved solutions measured in cuvettes. However, one of the most common UV/VIS accessories is an integrating sphere. With an integrating sphere, it is possible to measure almost any sample – including opaque solids, powders, gels, and turbid solutions. This webinar will discuss diffuse transmission and reflection UV/VIS measurements including how to perform measurements with Agilent’s Cary 60 UV/VIS Spectrometer and a diffuse reflectance accessory (DRA).
Presenter: Yanqia Wang, PhD (Application Engineer, Molecular Spectroscopy, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)
Dr. Yanqia Wang started working for Agilent Technologies Inc. as a FTIR application Engineer in 2013, providing pre-&post-sale application support. The products he covers from Bench-top FTIR microscopes to various Mobile FTIR spectrometers. Dr. Wang received his PhD of analytical chemistry from Duke University in 2004, doing dynamic IR spectroscopy research. Then he joined Fitzpatrick Center for Photonics at Duke University, doing Tissue Raman spectrometer instrumentation. Since 2007, Dr. Wang worked for Avery Dennison Corp. as a spectroscopist, providing molecular analytical support to the research & development.
