    3.1 INTRODUCTION This section of manual deals with the information, instructions for operation of

    DOUBLE BEAM UV-VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETER SL 210 for measurement and analysis of Absorbance, Percentage transmission & Concentration of Samples.

    3.2 DESCRIPTION 3.2.1 DOUBLE BEAM UV-VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETER, SL 210 is a table top,

    ergonomically engineered instrument with its components and modules inside laid out for easy maintainability and fully automatic operation through the keyboard - the only controls available on its panels.

    Annexure D

    A selectable light beam in Ultra-violet or Visible spectrum from the LIGHT SOURCE module gets focused on to the entrance slit of MONOCHROMATOR module. The incident beam of light gets tuned to keyboard-settable wavelength by motorized slewing of the holographic grating in Czerny-Turner mount and reflecting optics and emerges as a monochromatic light of narrow band width from the exit slit of the Monochromator. This narrow band light from monochromator is switched between two paths by a rotating chopper - one for REFERENCE CELL and other for SAMPLE CELL. The transmitted portion of the light through the media (BLANK, STANDARD & SAMPLE SOLUTION) in the two paths is combined onto a single photo detector. The output of DETECTOR-PRE-AMPLIFIER module is processed in the ELECTRONICS module and the ABSORBANCE/PERCENTAGE TRANSMISSION/ CONCENTRATION of the SAMPLE medium is present in Scan, Photometric, and Concentration, Time Scan modes.

    COLORIMETRY AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRY 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Colorimetry is concerned with the determination of the concentration of a substance

    by measurement of relative absorption of light with respect to a known concentration of the substance. In Colorimetry, white light is generally used as a light source, and detections are usually made with photoelectric cell. In COLORIMETERS light contained within a comparatively narrow range of wavelengths furnished by passing white light through filters of colored glass, gelatin etc. is employed, transmitting only limited spectral region. COLORIMETERS are also called FILTER PHOTOMETERS.

    1.2 In SPECTROPHOTOMETRY source of radiation used extends into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, from which definite wavelengths of radiation are chosen possessing a bandwidth of less than 1 nm. In optical spectrometer measurements can be made of the quantity of transmitted radiation. In SPECTROPHOTOMETER, signal corresponding to the difference between the transmitted radiation of a reference material and that of a sample at selected wavelengths are measured.

    1.3 Colorimetric and Spectrophotometric methods provide a simple means for

    determining minute quantities of substances. 2 THEORY OF COLORIMETRY & SPECTROPHOTOMETRY 2.1 When light (monochromatic or heterogeneous) falls on a homogeneous medium, a

    portion of the incident light is reflected, a portion is absorbed within the medium, and the remainder is transmitted. If the intensity of the incident light is expressed by Io, that of the absorbed light by Ia, that of the transmitted light by It and that of the reflected light by Ir then:

    Io = Ia + It + Ir (1)

    Ir is usually eliminated by the use of comparison cells, as it is a mere 4% only, rendering.

    Io = Ia + It (2)

    2.2 As per Lambert's Law when monochromatic light passes through a transparent medium, intensity of the emitted light decreases exponentially as the thickness of the absorbing medium increases arithmetically, expressed by

    It = Io.e-kl (3)

    Where Io is the intensity of the incident light falling upon an absorbing medium of thickness l unit. It is the intensity of the transmitted light and k is a constant for the wavelength and the absorbing medium used.

    It = Io 10 -0.4343kl = Io.10-kl (4)

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-A

    A 2

    Where K = k / 2.3026 and is usually termed the ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT generally defined as the reciprocal of the thickness (l cm) required to reduce the light to 1/10 of its intensity. The ratio It /Io is the fraction of the incident light transmitted by a thickness l unit of the medium and is termed the TRANSMITTANCE T. Its reciprocal Io/It is the OPACITY and the ABSORBANCE A of the medium (formerly called the OPTICAL DENSITY OD) is given by:

    A = log (Io / It) (5)

    2.3 As per Beer's law the intensity of a beam of monochromatic light decreases exponentially as the concentration of the absorbing substance increases arithmetically. This may be written in the form:

    It = Io.e-k'c = Io.10-0.4343k'c = Io.10 -K'c (6)

    Where c is the concentration, and k' and K' are constants. Combining equation (5) and (6), we have:

    It = Io = 10-acl or log (Io / It) = acl (7) 2.4 This is the fundamental equation of COLORIMETRY and

    SPECTROPHOTOMETRY, and is the principle of the famous BEER-LAMBERT LAW. The value of A will clearly depend upon the method of expression of the concentration. If c is expressed in mole L-1 and l in centimeters then a is given symbol e and is called the MOLAR ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT or molar absorptivity. The specific absorption coefficient es (sometimes termed absorbency index) may be defined as the absorption per unit thickness (path length) and unit concentration.

    Thus there is a relationship between the ABSORBANCE A, the TRANSMITTANCE T, and the molar absorption coefficient, since:

    A = cl = log (Io / It) = log 1/T = - log T (8)

    2.5 SPECTROPHOTOMETERS are often calibrated to read directly in ABSORBANCE

    and also in PERCENTAGE TRANSMITTANCE. For colorimetric measurements Io is usually understood as the intensity of the light transmitted by the pure solvent, or the intensity of the light entering the solution. It is the intensity of the light emerging from the solution or transmitted by the solution. It will be noted that:

    The MOLAR ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT is the specific absorption coefficient for a concentration of I mole L-1 and a path length of 1 cm.

    = A / cl (9)

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-A

    A 3

    2.6 If two solutions of a colored substance with concentrations of c1 and c2 are placed in an instrument in which the thickness of the layers can be altered and measured easily which also allows a comparison of the transmitted light and both layers have the same colour intensity:

    It1 = Io.10-l1C1 = It2 = Io.10-l2c2 (10)

    Where l1 and l2 are the lengths of the columns of solutions with concentrations c1 and c2 respectively when the system is optically balanced. Under these conditions, as per Beer's Law:

    l1 c1 = l2 c2 (11) 2.7 If the concentration c1 is known concentration Cx of an unknown solution can be

    calculated from:

    Cx = [log (Io / It)] / l (12)

    When MOLAR ABSORBTION COEFFICIENT, which depends on wavelengths of incident light, temperature and solvent, employed is known and matched cells are used (i.e.c1 is constant).

    c a log (Io/ It) or c a log (1/T) or C a A (13)

    Hence, by plotting A (or log (1/T)), as ordinate, against concentration as abscissa, a straight line will be obtained and this will pass through the point c=0,A=0 (T=100%). This calibration line may then be used to determine unknown concentrations of solutions of the same. Material after measurement of absorbances.

    CARE & MAINTENANCE OF CELLS

    (CUVETTES OR PRECISION OPTICAL CELLS)

    1. CARE & MAINTENANCE OF CELLS 1.1 GENERAL Use cells-appropriate to the spectral region of interest & application envisaged and

    free from scratches, etch marks & other physical defects arising due to improper handling - in perfectly clean condition, to make full use of the accuracy and sensitivity of the electro-optical analytical instruments in which they are being employed.

    1.2 CHOICE OF CELLS For measurements in the visible region use cells of special optical glass. For measurements in the Ultra-Violet region of less than 360 nm wavelength use

    quartz cells. For measurements in the Ultra-Violet region of less than 220 nm wavelength, only

    certain varieties of silica cells are satisfactory, such as those marketed under trade names Spectrosil, Supersil, Ultrasil, supersil, etc.

    1.3 CARE OF CELLS DURING USE 1.3.1 Always clean the cells thoroughly and rinse at least once with a portion of the sample,

    before filling the sample, for use.

    1.3.2 Always wipe the exposed surfaces of the cells dry and free from lint & finger prints, using lintless cloth or soft tissue paper.

    1.3.3 Any glass (including vitreous silica) surface can rapidly absorb contamination. Gross

    contamination can occur from solvent evaporation, dust or grease. Such films or dust particles decrease the transmission and may contaminate the sample. For example, cells left standing on a laboratory bench for one hour show a drop in transmission up to 0.5%. It is important, therefore, to clean cells immediately after use and prior to use.

    1.3.4 While testing proteins or similar organic substances, rinse cells frequently to prevent

    sample build-up. Never allow such samples to dry within the cells. 1.3.5 Immediately after use empty and rinse the cells with the solvent, clean with a mild

    cleaning agent and store in distilled water, for short time storage. Do not leave solutions, particularly strong alkalis, in the cells for periods longer

    than necessary.

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-E

    E 2

    1.3.6 Always handle wet cells using tongs or tweezers, the ends of which are covered by soft, inert material like rubber or PTFE and grasp the cells only on the ground non-optical surfaces. The use of clean cotton gloves when handling dry cells prevents perspiration from fingers spreading to the polished faces of the cells.

    NOTE

    Ensure no bubbles cling to the inner surfaces of the cells. Finger marks/ prints absorb very strongly light in UV region.

    1.3.7 Never use a brush or any instrument, which might scratch the optical surfaces.

    Scratches and etching do not necessarily render a cell useless but can reduce transmission and cause light scattering. Always remove solid contamination by wet cleaning method like ultrasonic agitation and never by mechanical means.

    1.3.8 Keep the cells in their original cases, with their etched surfaces on the top, when not

    in use, for long time. 1.4 CLEANING METHODS 1.4.1 Cleaning procedures vary with the type of cell to be cleaned, accuracy required and

    type of contamination occurring from previous use. Use a cleaning method simplest of the ones indicated below appropriate to the application.

    1.4.2 A number of cleaning methods are listed in increasing order of severity. Whichever

    cleaning procedure is adopted, it is important that, once cleaning has commenced, do not allow the surfaces to dry until the cleaning procedure has been completed.

    1.4.3 Mild cleaning methods 1.4.3.1 Method-1 Boil the cells for 15 minutes in a 2% solution of a detergent and follow it with

    adequate rinsing in distilled water and Ethanol before drying. 1.4.3.2 Method-2 Take 1 gram of Potassium Dichromate, add a little distilled water and very slowly add

    approximately 100 ml of concentrated H2SO4. Keep the cells in this acidic solution for a maximum period of 12 hours. Wash the cells thoroughly with distilled water before use.

    NOTE

    Cells may get damaged if excess Fluoride is present in the water that is added to Potassium Dichromate.

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-E

    E 3

    1.4.3.3 Method - 3

    Immerse the cells and leave overnight in freshly prepared Chromic Acid and rinse thoroughly with distilled water before use.

    NOTE

    Potassium Dichromate dissolved in concentrated Nitric Acid is preferred to a Chromic - Sulphuric mixture because of its greater oxidizing capacity and mobility.

    1.4.3.4 Method-4 Add 30 ml concentrated Hydrochloric Acid to 10 ml concentrated Nitric Acid (Acqua

    Regia). Fill the cells with the mixture and allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Thoroughly wash the cells with distilled water before use. Repeat the procedure if necessary.

    NOTE

    These methods are generally adequate for cells, which are to be used in the visible and infrared spectral regions. Cells, which are to be used in the ultra-violet region, may not be adequately cleaned by these methods.

    1.4.4 General method for cleaning cells used in the Ultra-Violet region 1.4.4.1 Immerse cells in concentrated Nitric Acid and agitate either ultrasonically or by

    boiling for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse repeatedly with distilled water followed by rinse in absolute Ethanol and dry.

    NOTE

    Correct application of this method should give transmission variations of less than 5%.

    1.4.4.2 Cells cleaned by this method normally require matching to give sets of cells with a

    transmission variation of less than 1.5% at 240 nm.

    NOTE B.S. 3875: 1965 requires that matched type 1 cells show a transmission variation of less than 1.5% at 240 nm. Cells cleaned by this procedure may vary in transmission due to different degrees of cleanliness but not because of material variations.

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-E

    E 4

    1.4.5 Method for cleaning cells to ensure reproducible Ultra-Violet transmission 1.4.5.1 Synthetic fused silica cells like Spectrosil do not exhibit the variations in

    transmission shown by other forms of vitreous silica. Such cells will match automatically, without selection.

    NOTE

    This inherent uniformity of transmission will be lost if cells with transmitting plates of Spectrosil are not scrupulously clean.

    1.4.5.2 Method 1.4.5.2.1 Remove all traces of liquid previously used in the cells, wash in water, agitate in

    concentrated Nitric Acid (boiling or ultrasonic bath) and subsequently rinse in distilled water.

    1.4.5.2.2 Immerse the cells in hot (80 to 90oC) saturated solution of Tri-Sodium

    Orthophosphate for 10 minutes, with repeated decantation. 1.4.5.2.3 Rinse in several changes of hot distilled water. 1.4.5.2.4 Immerse, with repeated decantation, in boiling distilled water for 10 minutes. 1.4.5.2.5 Rinse in cool reagent grade Ethanol. 1.4.5.2.6 Rinse thoroughly, at least twice, in hot, freshly distilled Ethanol. Allow to dry in

    clean dust-free air.

    NOTE Vitreous silica or inert plastic (e.g. PTFE) should be used for operation of steps 1.4.5.2.4 onwards since glass vessels may introduce contamination.

    This is only one of a number of possible methods and is not recommended for repeated use since slight etching of the transmitting plates can occur with prolonged immersions. However it demonstrates effectively the results of efficient cleaning.

    This method is capable of cleaning Spectrosil cells to a degree such that the variation in transmission at 240 nm will be less than 1%.

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-E

    E 5

    1.4.6 Special methods 1.4.6.1 Method - 1 If stubborn organic contamination is present and it is not possible to obtain the

    required level of transmission by operation of steps of 1.4.5, use hot Perchloric Acid instead of Orthophosphate in 1.4.5.2.2.

    CAUTION

    Perchloric acid is a dangerous liquid and due care should be exercised in its use.

    1.4.6.2 Method - 2 1.4.6.2.1 Excellent results can be obtained by cleaning the transmitting plates of demountable

    cells using the Ethanol-Nitric acid reaction. Transmission variations of less than 0.5% at 240 bn can be achieved for Spectrosil plates using this method carried out in a fume cupboard.

    1.4.6.2.2 Place the plates in a shallow, curved-bottomed Vitreosil or porcelain dish with not

    more than 0.5 ml, Ethanol in a fume cupboard. Add about five times this volume of cold concentrated Nitric Acid and cover the dish immediately with a large, inverted beaker. Close the fume cupboard. After the reaction has subsided carry out the recommended rinsing and drying procedure.

    CAUTION

    This method is as DANGEROUS as it is effective. Any Ethanol Nitric Acid mixture reacts violently, immediately or after a delay, producing a large volume of noxious fumes. Therefore it should only be used if the dangers involved are fully understood.

    NOTE

    To obtain the maximum benefit from any cleaning method, the final stages of rinsing and drying are critical.

    Copious rinsing in distilled water is recommended followed by a final rinse in absolute Ethanol or other pure readily volatile and miscible with water solvent, before drying. Where possible, drying should be accelerated by gentle heat or vacuum. Drying the cells with a jet of air is not recommended but may be used if adequate precautions are taken (e.g. using appropriate filters, drying agents, etc.).

  • SL 210 ANNEXURE-E

    E 6

    CAUTION These cleaning methods can safely be applied to cells of all-fused construction. Cemented cells and those incorporating intermediate glasses in their construction may be damaged and may even disintegrate using some of the processes described.

    1.4.7 Checking the cleanliness of cells

    A clean cell filled with distilled water should have the following absorbance percentage Transmission values relative to air.
