Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 58503B #9111689 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 58503B spectrophotometer is a robust and reliable laboratory instrument designed to measure absorbance over a wide range of wavelengths from the ultra-violet (UV) through visible light to the near infra-red (NIR). It features two independent wavelengths measuring channels, permitting comprehensive measurement of absorption at two wavelengths simultaneously. It has a protein plate transmission cell, with optics comprising a monochromator and a filter wheel, an integrating sphere and a detector pre-amplifier. The electronics signals are then processed by a 12 bit analogue to digital converter giving greater accuracy and resolution over earlier designs. The wavelength range extends over a 400 to 1000 nm range, in 0.2 nm increments. It also offers variable bandwidth and a selectable light source, with deuterium UV source, tungsten halogen UV-VIS light source and integrated near infra-red LED and photodiode. HP 58503B is designed to offer improved speed and repeatability of operation than some similar instruments, allowing the user to program multiple scans and store data in internal memory, thus simplifying data acquisition and speed-up analysis. Also, the relatively small size of the instrument makes it ideal for laboratory or field use. AGILENT 58503B comes with an accompanying software package allowing the user to measure the exact wavelength of light being used during a scan, but also to undertake a variety of calculations on the data being acquired. The instrument is protected with an anti-static coating and all internal electronic components are welded to ensure full protection against static electricity, thus allowing the user to be certain of obtaining reproducible and reliable data. Additionally, the unit is fully compatible with optical cables, making the interconnection of multiple instruments both simple and safe. Overall, KEYSIGHT 58503B is an excellent choice of spectrophotometer for laboratory or field applications requiring high accuracy, repeatability and data storage capabilities, and proves to be an invaluable and cost-effective instrument.
