What is UV-Vis Testing?

UV-Vis testing (ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy) is an analytical technique based on the interaction between light and matter. When ultraviolet or visible light passes through a sample, the valence electrons of its molecules undergo energy transitions. Different chemical structures exhibit characteristic absorption, transmittance, or reflectance behaviors at specific wavelengths. By recording the intensity changes of these optical signals, a spectrum across the 200–800 nm range can be obtained. This spectral profile reflects not only the electronic structure of the molecules but also provides insights into conjugated systems, functional group distributions, and substituent effects. According to the Beer–Lambert law, absorbance is linearly related to concentration, making UV-Vis spectroscopy suitable for both qualitative analysis (such as identifying molecular features) and quantitative analysis (such as precisely measuring the concentration of a component in solution).

UV-Vis Testing Service Categories

We offer the following UV-Vis testing services to support precise analysis of your samples' optical properties.

Full Spectrum Scanning

Covers the full ultraviolet to visible range, capturing complete absorption curves and identifying characteristic peaks. This service is well-suited for qualitative profiling, compound identification, and monitoring changes in electronic transitions. At BOC Sciences, spectral scans are performed with high-resolution instruments to ensure accurate data interpretation and reproducibility.

Fixed Wavelength Detection

Focused measurement at specific wavelengths provides fast and reliable quantification, making it ideal for routine quality monitoring and comparative studies. Our team tailors wavelength selection and method development based on sample requirements, ensuring optimal accuracy and sensitivity.

Kinetic Analysis

Real-time monitoring of absorbance variations over time allows investigation of reaction rates, stability studies, and other dynamic processes. BOC Sciences offers precise kinetic assays designed to capture subtle changes, supporting both fundamental research and product development.

Multi-Component Analysis

Advanced multi-wavelength modeling enables simultaneous quantification of multiple components in complex mixtures. This approach is particularly valuable for formulations, biochemical systems, and environmental samples. With our expertise, we deliver reliable deconvolution of overlapping spectra to provide clear and actionable results.

Transmittance and Reflectance Measurement

Specialized evaluation of optical properties for thin films, coatings, powders, or transparent materials. These measurements are essential for material performance characterization and comparative analysis. Leveraging dedicated accessories and calibration standards, we deliver accurate optical data across diverse sample types.

Trace and Specialized Sample Testing

Designed for low-volume or challenging samples, this service utilizes microcells, microplates, and tailored accessories. Our customized workflows enable sensitive detection where sample availability is limited, providing high-quality results without compromising integrity.

Sample Types Supported by Our UV-Vis Testing Services

MTT Assay

Supported Sample Types

  • Solutions: Includes organic solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone), aqueous solutions, ionic solutions, and metal complexes.
  • Solids: Includes powders, thin films, and compressed pellets; can be measured after preparation for optical transparency.
  • Colloids and Suspensions: Includes nanoparticles, emulsions, and colloidal systems; can be analyzed with scattering correction if needed.

CCK-8 Assay

Sample Requirements

  • Optical Properties: Samples should be transparent in the measurement wavelength range; absorbance ideally 0.1–1.0 AU.
  • Solution Quality: Must be homogeneous, bubble-free, and free of particulate matter; solvents should not interfere with UV-Vis measurement.
  • Volume and Containers: Typically 1–3 mL; containers must be transparent in the UV-Vis range (e.g., quartz cuvettes for 200–400 nm).
  • Stability: Samples must remain chemically stable; light- or temperature-sensitive samples may require protective conditions.
  • Concentration: Must fall within the instrument's linear range; overly concentrated samples should be diluted, and low-concentration samples may require longer path lengths or higher concentration.
