Welcome to the forum as well! As Endlessness, said, we do need more chemists!I have to say though, I got confused by your post and way of explaining things. I believe diagrams would help more instead of solid descriptions... I also think that you missed to make clear what kind of information one can get out of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer and how would that help in the analysis of (phyto)chemicals?From where I see it, you can get info on their concentration in solution. You can also estimate the purity of a given substance if you got some good references... but what else? The good thing is that the UV-vis spec is ultra cheap to run and rapid, but if someone has access to TLC and GC/MS, then what more advantage the UV-vis would provide? In reverse, if someone has UV-vis, (but not, say, any other chromatographic or spectrophotometric tools) what practical things one could do with it re substance analysis?
