UV-Visible Spectroscopy Measurement Tutorial for Nanoparticle Solutions, Part 2

February 08, 2017

The second part in a series on how to accurately measure the optical spectra of solutions of nanoparticles using a UV-VIS (UV-Visible) spectroscopy. In this demo, we use an Agilent 8453 spectrophotometer to accurately measure a high concentration solution of nanoComposix's BioPure Silver Nanospheres using an analytical balance.

Video discusses:

• Optimal absorbance to take UV-Vis measurements
• Measurement techniques for performing a dilution
• Critical data that needs to be captured in order to accurately perform a quantitative calculation

More information about UV-Vis measurements and Plasmonic materials can be found through the following links:

• Find our Guidelines for UV-Vis Analysis document under our Handbooks.
• Optical Properties of Silver Nanoparticles
• Optical Properties of Gold Nanoparticles
• Intro to Plasmonic Nanomaterials
• Overview of characterization techniques used for measuring nanomaterials
