Product news

Elliot Scientific is now offering the new 20/30 PVT Series UV-Vis-NIR Microspectrophotometer from CRAIC Technologies to scientists in the UK and Ireland. As the latest product of the company, the 20/30 PVT microspectrophotometer excels in non-destructive rapid analysis of many types of sub-micron or larger samples from the deep ultraviolet to the near infrared. The multiple techniques available include absorbance, reflectance, Raman, luminescence, and fluorescence among others.

The 20/30 PVT Microspectrophotometer incorporates the latest technological advances in optics, spectroscopy and software to deliver the best performance in a microspectrophotometer to date. Yet it retains the ease-of-use for which CRAIC instruments are known and represents a further step forward in UV-visible-NIR microspectroscopy.

Touch screen controls, sophisticated software, calibrated variable apertures and other innovations all point to a new level of sophistication in microanalysis, and while microspectra are being acquired, the sample may be simultaneously viewed in the deep UV and NIR with the high-resolution digital imaging system or in the visible through the research grade eyepiece optics. Images and time-resolved spectral data are acquired and recorded in one rapid seamless operation from across the instrument's extended spectral range.

The 20/30 PVT Microspectrophotometer's analytical capabilities are useful in many fields of research, and some of the possible applications for it include:

- OLED's & Flat Panel Colour Masks
- Thin Film Metrology
- MEMS Devices
- Forensic Analysis
- Photovoltaic Cell Characterisation
- Surface Plasmon Resonance
- Photonic Bandgap Crystals
- Process Impurity Detection
- Protein Crystal Measurement
- Combinatorial Chemistry
- Kinetic Spectroscopy
- Mineral Analysis

The 20/30 PVT is more than just a scientific instrument. it is the solution to many analytical challenges and the best performing microspectrophotometer to date.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.

Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
