Spectrometry Spectroscopy

Until the last War, variants of optical emission spectroscopy ( spectrometry when the technique became quantitative) were the principal supplement to wet chemical analysis. In fact, university metallurgy departments routinely employed resident analytical chemists who were primarily experts in wet methods, qualitative and quantitative, and undergraduates received an elementary grounding in these techniques. This has completely vanished now. 

Define spectrochemical methods, spectroscopy, spectrometry, spectrometer, and spectrophotometer. 

There are three types of lab techniques that you must know for the MCAT spectroscopy, spectrometry, and separations. Spectroscopy will be either nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr), infrared spectroscopy (IR), or ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV). You will need to understand how mass spectrometry works. Separation techniques will include chromatography, distillation, crystallization, and extraction.

In order to understand the principles and applications of spectroscopy in bioanalysis it is important to appreciate some fundamental aspects of waves and electromagnetic radiation. At the heart of spectroscopy, spectrometry and spectrophotometry is the interaction of waves of energy (electromagnetic radiation and non-electromagnetic radiation) and matter in a sample to be analysed. Matter will interact with these waves of energy in different ways, and it is this diversity that is important with respect to identiflcation, analysis and characterization of biomolecules in a sample.

The techniques chosen in this section are by no means a complete selection, rather representative in the eyes of the Author, of some of the more popular/more interesting spectroscopies/spectrometries that can or have been applied to provide chemical information over localized volumes. The original difference between a spectroscopy and spectrometry lies in the fact that in a spectrometry, only one parameter in the collected data set varies (this is generally the intensity of the signal), whereas in a spectroscopy, more than one parameter can vary (the other could be the energy of the signal). 

The techniques chosen in this section are representative in the eyes of the Author of some of the more popnlar snrface- or probe-based microscopies for examining solid materials. Note Microscopies are those used to provide images of localized volumes (little or no chemical information is relayed). Spectroscopies/spectrometries are discnssed in Section A.6, whereas diffraction techniques are discussed in Section A.8. The techniques covered in this section include ...
