UV-Vis Spectrophotometers
Cole Parmer offers five series of visible and UV/Vis spectrophotometers ranging from entry-level Single Beam, Split-Beam with a spectral bandwidth of 1.5nm and a more advanced variable Double Beam spectrophotometer with a spectral bandwidth of up to 0.5nm. Previously, these were known under the Jenway brand.
UV and Visible spectrophotometry is one of the most widely used techniques in analytical science. Procedures using this method are important for analytical, clinical, and research laboratories, and have intensive application in a Quality Assurance environment. The technique is fundamentally accurate and precise, but it is essential to regularly check the performance of the instrument to see if it is still within the indicated specifications. If necessary, action can then be taken if it appears that the measurement results are out of bounds.
Each instrument is tested by a product specialist before installation to ensure that it can be used immediately in your lab.
In the overview below you can find the right model based on the desired characteristics.
