Spectrophotometers
Instruments for spectrophotometric analysis of samples in the UV, visible and IR ranges
Spectrophotometers
Spectrophotometers are a fundamental class of analytical instruments for quantifying substance concentrations by light absorbance in the UV (200–400 nm), visible (400–750 nm) and near-IR (750–1100 nm) ranges. They are used in biochemistry (DNA/RNA and protein quantification, enzyme kinetics), clinical diagnostics (blood chemistry), pharmaceuticals (quality control of drug substances and finished dosage forms), and water and food quality control. Modern instruments offer microvolume measurements (1–2 µL without cuvettes), multi-wavelength detection, 96/384-well plate capability and LIMS integration. We offer solutions ranging from flagship double-beam systems such as the Shimadzu UV-3600i Plus to routine NanoDrop microvolume instruments — for any application and laboratory budget. Plate-based measurements (ELISA, enzyme kinetics, OD600) are covered in the separate "Microplate spectrophotometers" category.
