Ultraviolet spectrophotometry from Shimadzu

Shimadzu has introduced its latest UVVis spectrophotometer, the UV-1800, which functions either as a standalone instrument or can be PC-controlled with USB memory. UVProbe data processing software comes as standard so users can ædrag and dropÆ data from an optional USB memory stick to a PC.

The USB interface gives users the advantage of macros and graph functions available with commercial spreadsheet software to reduce effort and enhance efficiency. The USB memory saves spectral data, quantitation values and measurement parameters. In addition, it saves parameter settings, so multiple users can share one instrument.

Stray light and noise levels are reduced with the UV-1800. Shimadzu’s LO-RAY-LIGHT low stray light diffraction grating restricts stray light to half that of the UV-1700. A brighter optical system reduces the noise level (at 700 nm) to 25% of the previous model.

Multiple modes (including photometric, spectrum, quantitation, kinetics, time-scan, multicomponent quantitation and biomethod) come as standard on the UV-1800, which also offers automated security and enhanced instrument validation.
