UV spectrophotometer

Equipment for the measurement of UV absorption spectra.

UV/VIS HP 8453

The Agilent 8453 spectrophotometer is the core of powerful and productive systems for routine and occasional users that are easy to use and integrate seamlessly into the modern laboratory. The spectrophotometer comes equipped with all the diode-array advantages – fast scanning, excellent sensitivity, virtually absolute wavelength reproducibility, exceptional ruggedness and reliability, minimum maintenance and open sample area, and significant improvements in optical performance. Better than two nanometer resolution, wavelength range of 190 to 1100 nm and less than 0.03 % stray light is standard. 

Ultra-high resolution liquid chromatograph - High resolution mass spectrometer

It is an equipment focused on the identification of unknown polar compounds. The high resolution mass spectrometer (orbitrap) allows us to identify the most likely molecular formula and then identify the structure.

Uv-vis spectrophotometer

The spectrophotometer is a device for comparing the radiation absorbed or transmitted by a solution that contains an unknown amount of solute and one that contains a known amount of the same substance.
