High-Precision Analysis for a Multitude of Samples

Shimadzu (Germany) has launched a new series of scanning spectrophotometers: the UV-2700, a true double beam double monochromator system and the UV-2600 single monochromator version. The new compact spectrophotometers enable high-precision spectral analysis of a wide range of samples including organic and inorganic compounds, biological samples, optical materials and photovoltaics.

The UV-2600 and UV-2700 offer “best in class” performance in stray light, photometric range and scan speed. At just 45 x 60 cm the footprint of the instruments has been decreased by 28 % in comparison to the previous UV-2450 and UV-2550 models.

The UV-2700 covers a wavelength range from 185 to 900 nm and is perfect for highly sophisticated applications such as direct measurement of high density samples up to 8 absorbance units without dilution. The high performance level of the optical system is achieved with Shimadzu’s “LO-RAY-LIGH®” diffraction grating, based on a new holographic method featuring highest efficiency and exceptionally low stray light.

Where the ultra-low stray light levels of the UV-2700 are not needed, the UV-2600 single monochromator version is available. Combined with the ISR-2600 Plus dual detector integrating sphere, it allows a measuring range up to 1,400 nm giving access to the determination of optical material or expanded research of photovoltaics.
