Application of UV-visible spectrophotometric techniques to manufacture homeopathic medicines

Homeopathy is a therapeutic system based on three fundamental principles: the similarity (similia similibus curantur), the infinitesimal dose (in decimals of Hahnemann, XH, or in centesimals of Hahnemann, CH) and the individualization of the method (symptomatology, medical and life history, physical and psychological state). Homeopathic medicinal products are made by sequentially energized ultra dilutions of ‘strains’. The treatment given to the patient causes in a healthy person the symptoms that will neutralize in a sick person. Compounds are prepared systematically, diluting the active substance in water and alcohol, stirring vigorously between dilutions. The active substance may be of plant, mineral or animal origin.

Visible and UV Spectrophotometer: Differences

A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures how much light a substance absorbs. This equipment measures the amount of absorbance after light passes through a solution. Each substance transmits, reflects, and absorbs light slightly differently. In chemistry, spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the transmission properties of a material based on the light wave.

Fluorometer vs. Spectrophotometer

A fluorometer is a piece of equipment that allows the analysis, identification and quantification of chemical substances with molecules capable of presenting fluorescence, using the technique of fluorescence spectrophotometry or fluorometry. We can say that this equipment is a special optical device used in laboratories, capable of measuring the fluorescent quality of biological or mineral samples.

When to calibrate my spectrophotometer?

The spectrophotometer is a piece of equipment used in the laboratory in order to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution, thus allowing quantitative analysis to be carried out. Proper calibration of the spectrophotometer is a fundamental factor in obtaining an accurate and reliable measurement.

How to keep your spectrophotometer in good condition?

The spectrophotometer is one of the main diagnostic and research instruments developed by humans. It is used in the laboratory in order to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution, thus allowing quantitative analysis.

How to maintain your spectrophotometer?

The spectrophotometer, built by advanced manufacturing processes, is one of the main diagnostic and research instruments developed by mankind. It is used in the laboratory to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution, thus enabling quantitative analyses to be performed.

Do you know why a spectrophotometer is so important?

A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures how much light a substance absorbs. It measures the amount of photons absorbance after it passes through a solution. Every substance will transmit (reflect) and absorb light slightly differently.
