New entry-level UV/vis spectrophotometer features ratio beam optics, large high resolution LCD, new control software, and a four-cell changer as standard
The new U-1800 UV/Vis instrument from Hitachi is an entry-level, self contained unit with a large, high resolution LCD, new control software and a four-cell changer as standard.
This extremely versatile instrument has wavelength scanning, time scanning, photometry and ratio measurement capabilities packed into a small (A3) size footprint.
The U-1800 has been designed to deliver outstanding quality of results and features ratio beam optics for high stability for time scanning applications such as enzyme kinetics.
Wavelength scanning over the range 190-1100 nm with a bandpass of just 4 nm ensures spectra can be acquired at high resolution.
Full photometric capabilities, including the generation and storing of standard curves are provided.
In addition the instrument can be figured to automatically make ratio measurements at two wavelengths, for example for RNA/DNA measurements A four-cell changer is included as standard so that multiple samples or standards set may be loaded for a single run. Ease of use is further enhanced by the incorporation of a 5 inch, 320 x 200 pixel LCD screen and a brand new user interface. Recognising that many laboratories require spectrophotometers to be computer controlled, the U-1800 is fully configured to linked to a PC, where it can be controlled by Hitachi's PC Solutions software.
