UV-VIS Spec’s USB Improves Productivity August 27, 2010
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments’ latest UV-VIS spectrophotometer, the UV-1800 easily satisfies pharmacopoeia requirements, as well as the demands of university laboratories, government agencies and the food industry. With USB memory, validation functions and easy maintenance, the spectrophotometer makes analysis easier and improves productivity.
UVProbe data processing software now comes standard so users can drag and drop data from an optional USB memory stick onto 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. USB memory saves spectral data, quantitation values and measurement parameters. In addition, it saves parameter settings so multiple users can share one instrument.
With the UV-1800, stray light and noise levels are reduced. The reduced stray light (less than 0.02% NaI @ 220 nm) delivers a wider dynamic range (-4 to 4A) while the reduced noise level (within 0.00005 Abs RMS value @ 700 nm) ensures ultimate sensitivity.
Multiple modes, including photometric, spectrum, quantitation, kinetics, time-scan, multi-component quantitation and biomethod, come standard on the UV-1800. The UV-1800 also offers automated security, and enhanced instrument validation and maintenance functions.
“By utilizing the UV-1800, users can start measurements just 30 minutes after installation,” said John Monti, Spectroscopy Product Manager. “Its functional design and many powerful modes, combined with the ease of operation offered by UVProbe, make it simple to install and use directly out of the box.”
The new design includes a 15-percent smaller footprint (45 cm W x 49 cm D) than the UV-1700 for placement close to other equipment; fewer keys that are spaced farther apart for trouble-free operation; and three display screens — parameter settings, progress status and results display — for clear information and ease of use.
