Abstract

We report the design and assembly of a fast spectrophotometer to monitor fast chemical reactions. The system incorporates coupled charge detector (CCD) technology, enabling the instantaneous capture of complete optical spectra in a time scale as short as few microseconds. For demonstration purposes, the degradation of one of the pesticides (benomyl) was monitored using this system.
