Theophylline by Optoacoustic Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0343-WXH)

Introduction

Theophylline is a medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a second-line drug. It is a bronchodilator. This activity reviews the indications, action, and contraindications for theophylline as a potential agent in treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.




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
