Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer



The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer is a simple, user-friendly device for demonstrating the fundamental principles of chemical kinetics and photochemistry to undergraduate chemistry students. It measures the absorption and emission changes over time of a photoexcited sample at a single wavelength, which is determined by a filter (600 nm filter included).
Supplier: Vernier VSPFP
Description
Photochemical reactions are very important in many areas of chemistry with applications including photodynamic therapy and solar energy harvesting. These reactions often proceed quickly and, as a result, require fast reaction techniques to analyze. The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer is a simple, user-friendly transient absorption spectrometer. It is useful for demonstrating the fundamental principles of these types of fast, photo-catalyzed reactions. Some experiment ideas include kinetics of photochemical reactions such as
- Excited-state dynamics
- Triplet-decay analysis
- Time-resolved phosphorescence
- Phosphorescence-quenching kinetics
- Isomerization
- Reactive free radicals
- Photocatalysis
