The Science behind Biostar-NLS Spectral Analysis
Next: What is "Atomic absorption spectroscopy"? Atomic absorption spectrometry has many uses in different areas of chemistry such as:
Clinical analysis: Analyzing metals in biological fluids and tissues such as whole blood, plasma, urine, saliva, brain tissue, liver, muscle tissue, semen
Pharmaceuticals: In some pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, minute quantities of a catalyst that remain in the final drug product
Water analysis: Analyzing water for its metal content.
Spectroscopy is often used in physical and analytical chemistry for the identification of substances.
A device for recording a spectrum is a spectrometer. Spectrometry can be classified according to the physical quantity which is measured or calculated.
Spectroscopy is also heavily used in astronomy. Most large telescopes have spectrographs, which are used to measure the chemical composition and physical properties of astronomical objects.
A recorded spectrum of a person:
