Ocean Optics has launched its HPX-2000-HP-DUV Xenon Light Source designed for UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy.
The lamp provides continuous spectral output from 185-2000 nm and has up to 2,000 hours of bulb life.
It also features an integrated shutter that can be controlled via a switch on the front panel or a TTL signal over the rear panel, so that taking dark measurements and making other adjustments does not affect lamp stability or compromise experiment integrity.
By adding an external filtering option such as an Ocean Optics CUV-FL-DA direct-attach cuvette holder, the HPX-2000-HP-DUV becomes a broadband excitation source for fluorescence.
The output intensity of the HPX-2000-DUV over the entire 185-2000 nm range is 3.5-4 times higher than the output intensity of standard xenon sources.
Optimum warm-up time is 40-60 minutes and drift is <0.06% per hour (after one hour stabilisation).
