Product Description UV-Vis spectral acquisition and analysis in less than 1 second Stable optics, low noise electronics, no moving parts Simple operation via application software Pre-aligned deuterium and tungsten lamps exchanged easily Self-test and revisions built into the software/firmware The Agilent 8453 Spectrophotometer is an essential component in UV-Visible systems. Routine and occasional users can take advantage of the diode-array features including fast scanning, excellent sensitivity, and virtually absolute wavelength reproducibility. Featuring exceptional ruggedness and reliability, this Agilent spectrophotometer is easy to use with a line power indicator, a status indicator and other push buttons. This equipment uses a photodiode array (PDA) which highly reliable. Simultaneous measurements of the complete light spectrum take less than a second using this array. Effective data analysis and archival with the use of data analysis software software ensures compliance with good laboratory practices (GLP) and pharmacopoeia requirements.
