Reliable and Cost-Effective Optical Solution for Routine Testing
The visible spectrophotometer machine is designed for routine laboratory analysis, industrial quality control, and educational applications, offering a balance between accuracy, simplicity, and cost efficiency.
Built with a single-beam optical system and 1200 lines/mm grating monochromator, the instrument ensures stable wavelength selection and reliable photometric performance across the visible spectrum (325–1000 nm).
The integrated microprocessor system enables automatic zero calibration and 100% transmittance adjustment, reducing manual errors and improving testing consistency—making it ideal for high-frequency daily testing environments.
Optical Analysis Description
Simple Operation with Multi-Mode Measurement Capabilities
This visible spectrophotometer is engineered for ease of use, requiring only four-button operation to complete most testing procedures.
It supports four essential measurement modes:
Transmittance (T) – for optical transmission analysis
Absorbance (A) – for chemical concentration detection
Concentration (C) – direct quantitative analysis
Factor (F) – coefficient-based calculation
The 128×64 LCD display provides clear and direct readouts, allowing users to quickly interpret results without complex setup.
With plug-and-play tungsten lamp design, lamp replacement requires no optical realignment, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
Flexible Connectivity & Laboratory Integration
Designed for modern lab workflows, the instrument includes:
USB output for PC connection and data processing
Parallel port for direct printing
Optional PC software for advanced data management
The 120 mm wide sample chamber allows compatibility with various cuvettes and accessories, making it suitable for:
Chemical concentration testing
Water quality analysis
Clinical laboratory measurements
Educational and research experiments
Its compact bench-top design ensures easy integration into laboratories, factories, and testing facilities.
