The Model 420 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer

S. I. Photonics Model 440 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer with Dip Probe Model 420 UV/Visible Spectrophotometer with a Universal Optics Bench Sampling Accessory

bulllitThe 400 Series Spectrophotometers have become the industry leader for high performance UV-Vis spectroscopy. Analytical performance and long term stability closely matches those of double beam instruments costing twice as much. The Model 420 is based on the similar platform of our Model 410 but also contains a deuterium light source for extending the wavelength range from 200 nm and 950 nm.
