Optical spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible light range – otherwise known as UV/Vis – studies the absorption of light by a sample. It is widely applied in many industry segments including pharma, chemical, and food & beverage in research, production, and quality control.
While the technique itself is fast and easy-to-apply, many companies still rely heavily on manual workflows to perform UV/Vis measurements. The operator must stand in front of the instrument during the entire analysis to insert and remove samples. Cleaning is typically manual as well. Such workflows can be time-consuming, costly, inefficient, and error-prone.
Why Automate Your UV/Vis Analysis Workflow?
While the main focus of automation is on creating ease around often-repeated steps and routine analytical tasks, automation can also significantly improve adherence to the UV/Vis analytical workflow. This can help you:
- Eliminate transcription errors
- Reduce measurement uncertainty
- Enhance repeatability
- Improve data security
All of these changes lead to results that are more reliable and trustworthy while also helping to reduce rework and cost-per-analysis.
