NEW Improved Spectrovis Plus

Spectrovis Plus SpectrometerAn Affordable Spectrophotometer and Fluorometer

Having a CCD array spectrometer/fluorometer combination is now affordable for each of your lab stations! Array spectrometer technology allows you to collect a full wavelength spectrum (absorbance, percent transmittance, or intensity) in less than one second. Once the peak wavelength is determined, you can easily determine the concentration of a solution (Beer’s law) or monitor rates of reaction.

What’s New and Improved with SpectroVis Plus?

  • Improved range: 380–950 nm (VIS-NIR)
  • nm between reported values (now collects 570 values)
  • Improved optical resolution (~2.5 nm)
  • New support for fl uorescence (two excitation sources centered at 405 nm and 500 nm)

More Features

  • Portable: 15 cm x 9 cm x 4 cm
  • Collect a full spectrum in less than 1 second
  • Easy one-step calibration
  • Connects directly to LabQuest or to a computer’s USB port
  • No external power required
  • Software required: Logger Pro 3.8.2 (or newer) or LabQuest App 1.4 (or newer)

Uses

  • Measure absorbance, percent transmittance, emissions spectra, or fluorescence
  • Conduct Beer’s law investigations
  • Conduct kinetic studies of absorbance vs. time
  • Perform equilibrium studies of absorbance vs. time or absorbance vs. concentration
  • Conduct experiments on enzyme kinetics
  • Perform colorimetric or fl uorescent bioassays
  • Measure emissions of gas discharge tubes, fl ame tests, or other light sources, using the SpectroVis Optical Fiber (not included)

How Does it Work?

Spectrovis Plus - How Does it Work?

Light from our long-lived LED light source passes through a solution. Emerging light goes through a high-quality diffraction grating then the diffracted light is collected and sorted by the CCD array detector.

With its two different excitation wavelengths, SpectroVis Plus can quantitatively measure the fl uorescence spectra of many compounds, such as quinine, florescein, and chlorophyll.

NEW Spectrum Tube Single Power Supply

Spectrum Tube Single Power SupplyWith ultra-safe design, this spectrum tube power supply will provide a simple means of viewing gas discharge spectral lines with any of our spectrometers. Unlike other designs, this system has no exposed high voltage. The gas tubes are permanently enclosed in plastic carriers that protect the tubes from breakage.

There are no through-the-glass electrodes, so the tubes last far longer than older designs. The Power Supply will energize one tube at a time and includes storage space for an additional six tubes.
