Spectrophotometer added to equipment list at Kwartzlab

So you ever wonder what is really in that iced beverage you are drinking? Well soon members will be able to analysize their drinks and stuff for themselves with this Beckman DU 640 Spectrophotometer.


Here is what this instrument of beauty can do:

Complete Integrated Scanning UV/VIS Spectrophotometer

The DU-640 is a complete standalone system that incorporates all of the needed components: CPU, graphical user interface, monitor, keyboard, 3-button mouse, and I/O ports.
Programs for fixed wavelength, wavelength scanning, scatter correction, net A, time-based kinetic/rate determination, subtraction/addition, and manipulation of spectra are provided with each instrument. Non-volatile memory is standard for storage of methods and data.
