Abstract

The spectrophotometry systems commonly required both in research areas and in the chemical and materials industries turn out to be expensive laboratory equipment, in many cases the acquisition of these becomes unfeasible; besides, in several applications portability is also required to perform measurements in the field and that they could be broad spectrum devices. In this work, a review of various development projects for spectrophotometry devices was carried out, ranging from academic prototypes to industrial products using different implementation strategies in order to know the feasibility of creating portable and broad-spectrum devices or specific products for a particular sector, but with the intention of achieving high precision and functionality. The research allowed to conclude with a novel contribution for the development of powerful spectrophotometry prototypes for specific, low-cost industries or sectors.
