TU-1800/1800S UV-VIS Spectrophotometer 
 


--------------------------------------------------------------

The TU-1800/1800S is our company's popular UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Its optical system adopts a split-beam measurement optical system, detector for two highly sensitive silicon photodiodes; instrument operations are controlled through an internal single-chip microcomputer, matched with a 320*240 LCD display screen, and a soft-touch keypad and parallel printing interface: instrument features an 8-cell holder, accessible light-source chamber. TU-1800/1800S UV-VIS spectrophotometer performs photometric measurements, spectrum measurements, and quantitative measurements. It is easily operated, features excellent performance, automatic 1100nm-200nm wavelength scan, peak-picking, and automatic baseline check. Its convenient and easy data processing is very suitable for medical, chemical, environmental, agricultural, or biological analytical work.

Features

* Low Stray Light and Wide photometric range. The high-performance blazed holographic grating reduces stray light of the instrument and widens the photometric range.

* Enhanced baseline stability. The dual beam monitoring ratio system enhances baseline stability.

* Heightened resolution. The large-diameter light path magnifies the instrument's energy, reduces noise and enhances resolution.

* Automatic sequential measurement. The automatic eight-cell sample holder carries out automatic measurement of eight samples in succession. It also features a one-touch measurement of the dissolution of six drug samples and a blank

* User-friendly light source. The socket deuterium lamp and socket tungsten lamp facilitates easy light source replacement, easy maintenance, and reduces operation error.

 

Convenient LCD display

* Convenient display. The large back-lit LCD displays both photometric values and spectral curves.

* Enhanced service life and reliability. The soft-touch keypad maximizes service lifetime and operational reliability.

Note: The TU-1800 features all the advanced functions of the TU-1800S, but is simplified by removing the selectable bandwidth feature. The TU-1800 will remain at 2.0 nm set spectral bandwidth while the TU-1800S can analyze using four different bandwidths.
