1. COLORIMETRY & SPECTROPHOTOMETR Many biochemical experiments involve the measurements

of compound or group of compounds present in a complex mixture

The most widely used method for determining the concentration of biochemical compounds is colorimetry, which makes use of the property that when white light passes through a colored solution, some wavelength are absorbed more than others

Many compounds are not themselves colored but can be made to absorb light in visible region by reaction with suitable reagents

The earliest colorimeters relied on the human eye to match the color of a solution with that of one of a series of colored discs. The results obtained were too subjective and not particularly accurate

Page 3: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

THE COLORIMETER Colorimeter is generally any tool that characterizes

colour samples to provide an objective measure of colour characteristics

In chemistry, the colorimeter is an apparatus that allows the absorbance of a solution at a particular frequency (colour) of visual light to be determined. Colorimeters hence make it possible to determine the concentration of a known solute, since it is proportional to the absorbance

Page 4: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

THE COLORIMETER Different chemical substances absorb varying

frequencies of the visible spectrum Colorimeters rely on the principle that the

absorbance of a substance is proportional to its concentration i.e., a more concentrated solution gives a higher absorbance reading. And this what Beer’s states.

LIGHT AFFECTED BY SAMPLE CONCENTRATION

Page 6: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

BEER’S AND LAMBERT’S LAW Beer’s law states that the concentration of a substance is

directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed or inversely proportional to the logarithm of the transmitted light

A = 2- log %TA ~C

Lambert’s law states that the rate of decrease in intensity with the thickness of the medium is proportional to the intensity of light

Beer-Lambert law gives

T= e -kct

Finally givesConcentration of Test = (absorb of Test/absorb of

STD)x concentration of STD This law represents the basic for colorimetric and

spectrophotometric measurements

COMPONENTSComponents:- Light source : The most important factors

for a light source are range, spectral distribution within the range, the source of radiant production, stability of the radiant energy, and temperature

- Monochromators : Filter in the colorimeter is used to select the color of light which the solute absorbs the most, in order to maximize the accuracy of the experiment. Note that the colour of the absorbed light is the 'opposite' of the colour of the specimen, so a blue filter would be appropriate for an orange substance

Page 8: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

COMPONENTS- Sample cell- Photodetectors : could be barrier-layer

cell, phototube, photomultiplier tube, or photodiode. The light then falls on to a photocell which generates an electrical current in direct proportion to the intensity of light falling on it. This small electrical signal is increased by the amplifier which passes to a galvanometer of digital readout to give absorbance reading directly

CALIBRATION CURVES Calibration curves used to help in

determining concentrations when for instance analyzing many samples. This is done by plotting absorbance at a specific wavelength versus concentration for standards of known concentration

Each method reads within a specific range, below and above this range the reading will not be convenient ,and sample then must be treated before measurement. Deviations from linearity are typically observed at high absorbances

Page 11: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

FILTER SELECTION The filter chosen is usually

complementary to the solution colour to be measured

Solution colour Usual filter

BlueBluish-greenPurpleRed YellowYellowish-green

YellowRedGreenBluish-greenBlueViolet

Page 12: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

FILTER SELECTION We should measure the absorbance of

the coloured reaction throughout the visible spectrum and then deciding the wavelength of filter which gives the highest absorbance

Once the correct wavelength has been chosen to give maximum absorption, the selectivity is determined by taking further readings at various wavelengths with two different concentrations of the same solution

SPECTROPHOTOMETERS

Page 15: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

SPECTROPHOTOMETERS Is a sophisticated type of

colorimeter where monochromatic light is provided by prism or diffraction grating

The band width of the light passed by a filter is quite board, so that it may be difficult to distinguish between two components of closely related absorption with a colorimeter. A spectrophotometer is then needed

ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMERS The analyzed sample must contain the reduced metal in the

atomic vaporized state. Commonly, this is done by using the heat of a flame to break the chemical bonds and form free, unexcited atoms

The sample, in solution, is aspirated as a spray into a chamber, where it is mixed with air and fuel. This mixture passes through baffles, where large drops fall and are drained off. Only fine droplets reach the flame

Light from the hollow-cathode lamp passes through the sample of ground-state atoms in the flame. The amount of light absorbed is proportional to the concentration

When a ground-state atom absorbs light energy, an excited atom is produced. The excited atom then returns to the ground state, emitting light of the same energy as it absorbed

Flameless atomic absorption requires an instrument modification that uses an electric furnace to break chemical bonds (electrothermal atomization)

Page 20: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry is sensitive, accurate, specific and Precise

It is routinely used to measure concentration of trace metals that are not easily excited

It is generally more sensitive than flame emission because the vast majority of atoms produced in the usual propane or airacetylene flame remain in the ground state available for light absorption

2. DENSITOMETRY Densitometry is the quantitative

measurement of optical density in light-sensitive materials, such as photographic paper or photographic film, due to exposure to light. Optical density is a result of the darkness of a developed picture and can be expressed absolutely as the number of dark spots (i.e., silver grains in developed films) in a given area, but usually it is a relative value, expressed in a scale

The densitometer is used to detect and differentiate electrophoresis patterns

Page 22: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

TURBIDIMETRY Turbidimetric measurements are made

with a spectrophotometer to determine concentration of particulate matter in a sample. The amount of light blocked by a suspension of particles depends not only on concentration but also on size

Page 23: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

NEPHELOMETRY Nephelometry is similar, except that

light scattered by the small particles is measured at an angle to the beam incident on the sample holder

Page 24: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

FLAME PHOTOMETRY A sample aspirated into a flame,

producing atoms in an excited state, which are capable of emitting light of a specific wavelength depending on the element of interest

The intensity of the emitted light can be correlated to the quantity of ion present in the sample

Page 25: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

FLUOROMETRY The source emits short-wavelength high-energy

excitation light. A mechanical attenuator controls light intensity

The primary filter, placed between the radiation source and the sample, selects the wavelength that is best absorbed by the solution to be measured

The fluorescing sample in the cuvet emits radiant energy in all directions

The photodetector must be placed at a 90° angle from the initial light source. This eliminates any interference from the initial light source and detects only fluorescent light

The electrical output of the photodetector is proportional to the intensity of fluorescent energy

FLUOROMETRY

Page 27: Photometric calibration procedure.pptx

FLUOROMETRY Definition of fluorescence : Certain molecules absorb light and a

given frequency, and then re-emit that light at a different and longer frequency

Advantages of fluorescence:Very specific and sensitive

Disadvantages of fluorescence: Few molecules fluoresce and very susceptible to pH and temperature changes

CHEMILUMINESCENCE A chemical reaction that emits energy in

the form of light. When used in combination with immunoassay technology, the light produced by the reaction indicates the amount of analyte in a sample
