Wide wavelength range from UV to NIR
High energy throughput provides excellent signal-to-noise ratio for the entire UV to NIR spectral range.
Solutions for liquid samples
UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis is a common analytical procedure in which the liquid sample spectrum is measured and quantitative analysis is performed using the maximum absorption wavelength. Today, increasingly sophisticated applications that include time and temperature variables are being employed in such fields as biochemistry and biotechnology, and in clinical laboratories. JASCO offers various sampling accessories to support the growing demand for complex applications and provides the ideal system tailored to meet specific customer requirements. In a PC controlled configuration, these intelligent accessories enable high-speed data acquisition and high-measurement accuracy.

DNA melting analysis Using a newly developed 8-position V-series cell changer, transmittance or absorbance measurements for up to 8 samples can be collected simultaneously with temperature control from 0 to 100°C. The data shown are for the thermal melting of a 50 mg/mL DNA solution (200 mM phosphate buffer pH7.0) obtained from calf thymus, monitored at 260 nm and showing increasing absorption. The Tm (melting point) can be observed around 88°C. The 8-position cell changer can be utilized in other applications, such as biological macromolecules, enzyme activity, liquid crystals, etc. |
Solutions for solid samples
With an increasing demand for evaluation of new materials such as polymers, glasses, ceramic materials and semiconductors using optical spectroscopy, several different types of accessories are required for the measurement of solid samples. Many of the properties of solid samples require not only UV-Vis measurements, but also measurement into the NIR region. To satisfy these requirements, JASCO offers several reflection accessories, such as specular reflection attachments and integrating spheres for both UV-Vis and UV-Vis/NIR. An extended large sample compartment is also available as well as an integrating sphere with an optical fiber interface for such applications as nondestructive food analysis in the NIR region.
Reflectance measurements of plastic plates by using the integrating sphere
Several types of integrating spheres are available for the V-600 series to comply with various application requirements. Integrating spheres for horizontal sampling, models PIV-756/PIN-757, can mount the sample horizontally and provide measurements of small sample sizes by using a lens. The models ISV-722/ISN-723 (60 mm diam.) and ILV-724/ILN-725 (150 mm diam.) provide the ability to eliminate specular reflectance. Sample reflectance can be measured either including the specular reflectance or providing only the diffuse reflectance.

New Accessory for the V-600 Series UV/Vis Spectrometers
Precise analysis of micro-volume samples for Life Science Studies
The SAH-769 One Drop is a dedicated accessory for the V-600 Series to measure micro-volume samples of protein and nucleic acid. The sampling procedure is quite easy, by simply placing a droplet of a sample on the disk cell window, providing rapid measurements within 20 seconds per sample. The minimum sample volume is 5 µl for the standard 1 mm pathlength disk cell, while 0.6 µL can be used for the optional 0.2 mm pathlength disk cell. The shorter optical pathlength allows measurements of high concentration samples without dilution. A precise optical pathlength is maintained, assuring excellent reproducibility of measurements.
Quick, but highly accurate measurement by a research-grade spectrophotometer
Only 20 seconds per sample.
