Spectrophotometry is a discovery that has so many uses it would render biochemical and pharmaceutical scientists helpless if it disappeared from the frontiers of science.  This deceptively simple device comes in different forms, from the humble single beam analyser to the uv visible and spectrophotometer products and IR equivalents being used today.

 

Pharmaceutical companies find that the analysis of new plants and animals, even the poisonous ones, may have beneficial components in their makeup that can aid in the manufacture of new and better drugs for humankind.  Finding the molecular and even the atomic design of these complex components found in nature leads to the discovery of new chemicals that may have uses for the treatment of disease or disorders.

 

Plants found in nature have been discovered that have certain qualities in their biology that can be used for the treatment or cure of many diseases.  Aspirin was discovered by near chance, but the newer drugs being developed for arthritis pain in individuals have come about by the meticulous analysis of plant material using the uv visible spectrophotometer.

 

The ocean's reefs have also brought forth a bounty of complex molecules, which can only be discerned by the use of these elaborate scientific instruments.  Certain types of cone snail, which is so toxic to humans if they are stung by it they could die in an hour, has revealed, through the use of light absorbance, that its venom has certain properties which could help with the prevention of cardiac arrest or heart attack. All analyzed on a UV Spectrophotometer

 

Puffer fish has always been a dangerous delicacy in Japan, but after researchers studied the toxic elements in the flesh of the fish, they discovered there might be a new and safer anesthesia for surgical patients.  This could not have been discovered without the use of the light absorbance technology.
