Study of Purines by Optoacoustic Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0342-WXH)

Introduction

Purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound that consists of two rings (pyrimidine and imidazole) fused together. Purines are one of the most common chemical compounds on the planet. There are two kinds of purines: endogenous and exogenous. Exogenous purines are absorbed by the body through the foods that you eat, whereas, endogenous purines are made directly by the body itself.




Principle

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is the measurement of the effect of absorbed electromagnetic energy (particularly of light) on matter by means of acoustic detection. The absorbed energy from the light causes local heating and through thermal expansion a pressure wave or sound.

Applications

Detect and quantify chemical functional groups and thus chemical substances
