Designed in accordance with the governing European and Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the new UV-1800 UV-VIS spectrophotometer achieves a resolution of 1 nm, the highest in its class, in a compact design. Offering an array of user-friendly features, the UV-1800 can be used as either a stand-alone or as a PC-controlled instrument.
High resolution
Featuring the highest resolution in its class* (1 nm), the UV-1800 easily satisfies the standards of wavelength resolution demanded by the European Pharmacopoeia. Additionally, using a blazed, holographic grating with a Czerny-Turner mount results in a compact, high-throughput optical system. Stray light, wavelength repeatability and baseline stability have also been advanced to meet user requirements. (*As of March 2007, according to Shimadzu research.)
Compact
Only 450 mm wide, the UV-1800 is one of the most compact instruments in its class, allowing installation in tight spaces. In comparison to the UV-1700, the required space has decreased by about 15%, and the width has narrowed by about 20%.
User Friendly
USB memory can be connected directly to the UV-1800. Users can now analyze data on a PC using UVProbe software. In addition, data for spectra and time-course curves can be displayed and saved with commercial spreadsheet software. Printing is possible to printers that support ESC/P, PCL, and USB I/F control codes.
Using UVProbe software, provided standard with this instrument, makes it possible to control the UV-1800 with a PC. (A USB cable is required for connection to the PC.
