Used SHIMADZU SPD-20A #293752389 for sale

SHIMADZU SPD-20A spectrophotometer is a multi-purpose, high-performance instrument designed to measure light intensity across a wide range of wavelengths. With its wide dynamic range, a wide variety of samples including solid, liquid, and gas can be easily measured with excellent accuracy and precision. The instrument is equipped with a light source that emits light in the UV-Visible spectral range from 190 nm to 1100 nm. It also uses a grating monochromator to disperse the light into its component wavelengths. The light is then focused onto a photomultiplier and converted into electrical signals. These signals are then used to calculate the absorbance, transmission, and other optical characteristics for samples. The instrument is a versatile tool for environmental, clinical, and research applications, and is capable of analyzing a wide range of biological and biochemical compounds. With its high sampling speed, it can be used to quantify a variety of physical and chemical parameters in a short time. It can analyze a sample for over 20 different parameters such as DNA, protein, carbohydrate, sugar, amino acid, and fatty acid content. SPD-20A offers two modes of operation: single-beam and dual-beam. In the single-beam mode, optical measurements are done on a single component at different wavelengths. In the dual-beam mode, light from two separate sources is focused on the same sample, allowing for more accurate measurements. It also has advanced data acquisition capabilities and a full-color LCD display for easy data interpretation. The instrument is compact, easy to use, and can be operated in a variety of environments. It is also well-supported by SHIMADZU customer service, which provides troubleshooting assistance and training. In summary, SHIMADZU SPD-20A spectrophotometer is a reliable, high-performance instrument capable of measuring light intensity across a wide spectral range and analyzing a large number of different compounds. Its versatility and advanced features make it a great choice for laboratory and environmental studies.
