Uv spectrophotometer

Manufactured by PerkinElmer
Sourced in United States

The UV spectrophotometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the absorbance or transmittance of a sample in the ultraviolet and visible light spectrum. It is designed to detect and quantify the presence of specific chemical compounds or elements in a sample by analyzing the wavelength and intensity of light absorption or transmission.

The in vitro dissolution tests were carried out in a dissolution test apparatus, USP type II (Pharmatest, Hainerp, Germany) (paddle method, 37 ± 0.5 °C, 50 rpm). The experiments were conducted in two different aqueous media; for the first 2 h, 450 mL of 0.2 M HCl solution (pH 1.2) was used to simulate the stomach pH, and to that, 450 mL of 0.14 M K2HPO4 solution (pH 9) was added to simulate the enteric pH (pH 6.8). Samples (5 mL) were withdrawn at predetermined time intervals, filtered, and analyzed in a Perkin–Elmer UV spectrophotometer (Norwalk, CT) at λmax = 278 nm.

Thyroid glands of each animal were homogenized in 5 mM Tris HCl, 0.9% NaCl (pH 7.4) containing 0.1 mg/ml aprotinin and 14.3 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). The homogenate was centrifuged at 720 × g for 10 min, 4 °C and the supernatant was used for enzyme activity assays. Total protein content was quantified using a Bradford method43 (link). All the enzymatic assays were performed in an UV spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer, LAMBDA, Shelton, CT, USA) at 37 °C. Catalase (CAT) activity was measured according the method previously described44 (link). Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was measured by NADPH oxidation at 340 nm45 (link) and SOD activity was assayed by the reduction of cytochrome C at 550 nm46 (link).

Solubility of extract components in micronized and original (non-micronized) form was evaluated in aqueous media. In this study, coated sugar spheres containing accurately weighed precipitates with different particle size distributions resulting from different micronization experiments were placed separately in the glass flasks containing 10 ml solvents. The samples were sonicated in constant conditions (time: 30 min, temperature: 40 °C and frequency: 40 kHz). Unresolved components were separated using a laboratory centrifuge, and quantification of the dissolved extract was conducted at λmax of hesperidin (283 nm) using an UV spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Wilton, USA). The following equation was applied to compare the solubility of different samples: Solubility enhancment%=W2.Abs2W1.Abs1-1×100
where W1 and W2 are the weight of collected particles on the sugar spheres in samples 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Abs1 and Abs2 denote the UV absorbance of desired solutions.

The as-studied samples were characterized through XRD, FE-SEM, TG-DTA and UV-Vis techniques to confirmed the structural, thermal and optical properties. The XRD profile of powder samples were recorded on Rigaku miniflex-II X-ray diffraction using CuKα radiation (λ = 1.54 Å) in the 2θ range of 10–70°. The morphology of the samples were reported from FE-SEM (JEOL JSM-6360). The TG-DTA was carried out on Shimadzu DTG-60h thermal analyzer under nitrogen flow at the heating rate of 10 °C/min. The temperature of the sample was varied from room temperature to 1000 K. For the electrical measurements, the samples were polished and conducting silver paste was deposited on both sides. The sample area was taken to be the area exposed to the electrode surface. A firm contact was confirmed at the boundaries of the sample/electrode interfaces. Measurements of dc electrical conductivity as a function of temperature for all the samples were made by two-probe technique in the temperature range of 303–393 K. The transference numbers, both ionic (tion) and electronic (tele) for different as-synthesized samples were evaluated using Wagner's polarization technique. The Characteristic UV-Vis analysis of as-synthesized samples were recorded on Perkin Elmer UV spectrophotometer in the range 200–800 nm.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
