NOVEL-100S Split Beam UV/Vis Scanning Spectrophotometer, 190–1100 nm, Bandwidth 2 nm

COLO.Science · Spectroscopy & Color · UV/Vis spectrophotometers

NOVEL-100S split beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer — 190–1100 nm, spectral bandwidth 2 nm

The NOVEL-100S split beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer covers the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared range from 190 to 1100 nm. Deuterium and tungsten-halogen lamps, a Czerny-Turner monochromator with a 1200 lines/mm grating and a spectral bandwidth of 2 nm give routine UV and visible measurements; the wavelength is set automatically and an automatic 8-position cell holder measures a series of samples in one run — all operated from the 8″ colour touch screen.

UV and visible range with automatic series measurement

Many laboratories need both ranges on one instrument: nucleic acids and proteins at 260/280 nm, UV methods in pharmacopoeias and water analysis, and colour reactions in the visible range. The NOVEL-100S is a split beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer for this mixed routine work: it scans the spectrum to find the absorption maximum, then measures blank, standards and samples in sequence in the automatic 8-cell holder.

• Water, wastewater and environmental laboratories
• Food, beverage and agricultural laboratories
• Clinical chemistry, teaching and research laboratories that need one instrument for UV and Vis

Why a split beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer with an 8-cell changer

In a split beam UV/Vis spectrophotometer part of the light is led to a reference detector, so lamp fluctuations are compensated and the reading stays stable during a series — in the UV as well as in the visible range. Combined with the automatic 8-cell holder, the NOVEL-100S measures a blank, standards and samples in one run without opening the lid, which saves time and removes handling errors in routine series.

For methods that only need the visible range, the NOVEL3S offers the same platform for 325–1100 nm; for a compact single beam instrument choose NOVEL4S.

Cell holders and sample handling

The NOVEL-100S is a UV/Vis spectrophotometer with 8-cell changer for 10 mm cuvettes in standard delivery; quartz cuvettes are used for the UV range. The sample compartment also accepts holders for 50 mm and 100 mm path length, micro cells, film holders, an integrating sphere and a Peltier / sipper system.

Models

NOVEL-100S — with wavelength scanning (this page). NOVEL-100 — the same instrument without scanning, for fixed-wavelength, quantitative and kinetic methods. All other specifications and accessories are identical.

Operation and data

The NOVEL-100S is operated from an 8 inch touch screen: wavelength, method and units are set on the screen; spectra, regression curves and kinetic plots are shown while the measurement runs. Zero and 100 %T are adjusted automatically, and concentration is read directly or from a linear regression.

Results, spectra, regression equations and correction data are kept in the internal memory, so the instrument starts quickly. The deuterium and tungsten lamps can be switched separately to extend their life. Via USB the NOVEL-100S connects to a PC for data processing and extended storage; a thermal printer and the COLO spectrum PC software are available as options.

Standard delivery

Knowledge base

Spectral bandwidth, stray light, Beer–Lambert law and the choice of cuvettes are explained on COLO.Science — UV-Vis spectrophotometry and colour measurement, our knowledge base; how absorbance fits among other laboratory measurements is described in Measurement in laboratory science. The full data are in the NOVEL-100S technical specification (PDF).
