spectroscopy

what is spectroscopy?

Spectroscopy is the name given to a family of analytical chemical techniques whose basis is the interaction of light with matter. This interaction is usually manifested in the form of the absorption of light (e.g. as in uv-visible spectroscopy), or in its emission (e.g. as in inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectroscopy).

Inductively coupled plasmas also make excellent ion sources, and these ions may be characterised and quantified by mass spectrometry to yield concentration data. This relatively new approach, known as inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), is becoming increasingly popular as a result of its high sensitivity, and because of the relatively simple mass spectra produced.

Molecules, in contrast, are studied by a different group of spectroscopic techniques, such as uv-visible (uv-vis) spectroscopy and infra-red spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy). The former is frequently used in a quantitative fashion, to measure the concentration of specific molecules in a sample, whilst the latter is typically used to gain qualitative, structural, information.

what domains are for sale?

Here at hot-cakes, we have the world's best selection of spectroscopic and related .com and .co.uk domain names. Our collection includes:

why buy one of these domains?

The domains on sale here represent some of the most widely used analytical techniques available in modern laboratories, and make excellent locations from which to market a variety of specialist products and services to the laboratory industry.

The names of many comparable analytical techniques have already been purchased by instrument manufacturers and their distributers, and by the small and medium sized companies who sell consumables and maintenance services. Examples include microscopy.co.uk, owned by Bio-Rad, chromatography.co.uk, owned by Merck, and hplc.com which is owned by Thomson Instruments. The value of such names is thus clearly appreciated by industry.

Few, if any, potentially valuable names in this field remain unregistered. The domains advertised here therefore have a scarcity value in addition to their intrinsic commercial worth. Our prices, however, remain realistic, and you may wish to compare them with the $50,000 currently being sought for icp-ms.com.

Serious potential purchasers might wish to have our domains independently valued. Valuation services may be obtained from a variety of sites, of which GreatDomains is amongst the most well known.
