Detection of uranium in aqueous media by Raman Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0053-WXH)

Name: Detection of uranium in aqueous media by Raman Spectroscopy
SKU: STEM-ST-0053-WXH
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

Uranium is a heavy metal which has been used as an abundant source of concentrated energy for over 60 years.
Studies show that drinking water with elevated levels of uranium can affect the kidneys over time. Bathing and showering with water that contains uranium is not a health concern unless uranium levels are extremely high.

Principle

Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity and molecular interactions.
The principle behind Raman spectroscopy is that the monochromatic radiation is passed through the sample such that the radiation may get reflected, absorbed, or scattered. The scattered photons have a different frequency from the incident photon as the vibration and rotational property vary.

Applications

• Analysis of biocompatibility of a material.
• Analysis of nucleic acids.
• Study of interactions between drugs and cells.
• Photodynamic therapy (PDT).
• Analyzing metabolic accumulations of a substance or compounds.
• Diagnosis of disease.
• Analysis of individual cells.
• Cell sorting applications.
• Analyzing the features of biomolecules.
• Study of bone structure.
