uracil
Whereas thymine forms the counterpart to adenine in DNA, uracil (C4H4N2O2) takes the place of thymine in single-stranded RNA.
-
UV radiation
[Abbr. for ultraviolet radiation] - the wavelength range between approx. 400 and 100 nm is generally termed UV radiation. UV radiation lies between the electromagnetic waves of light and X-radiation. The transitions are fuzzy, and thus not consistent in the literature. Depending on the source, the transition to light is given as 380 nm or 400 nm. For the transition range for X-radiation (100 to 1 nm), either the term soft X radiation or extreme UV radiation (XUV) is used.
-
UV resistance
Industrial information on the UV resistance of a material usually refers to broad-spectrum UVA and UVB exposure, and hence allows only limited conclusions (if any at all) to be drawn in terms of the UVC resistance of the material.
We therefore offer our customers a free service testing materials, particularly plastics, as to their UVC resistance or UVC transparence. -
UVA
[Abbr. for ultraviolet A spectrum] - Long-wave UV rays in the range of approx. 400 (380) to 315 nm are termed UVA rays. The difficulty of establishing limit values can be seen clearly in the example of black-light-lamp emissions.
-
UVB
[Abbr. for ultraviolet B spectrum] - Medium-wave UV rays in the wavelength range of 315 to 280 nm are termed UVB rays. In the past, they were also called Dorno radiation after the Prussian naturalist Carl Dorno, who researched UVB radiation in depth and studied the biological processes associated with it.
-
UVC
[Abbr. for ultraviolet C spectrum] - Short-wave UV rays in the wavelength range of 280 to 100 nm are termed UVC rays. UVC rays are also classified into the sub-ranges "far UV" (280 to 200 nm) and "vacuum UV" (200 to 100 nm).
