Product description

The Agilent 8453 (G1103A) UV/Vis Photodiode Array Spectrophotometer provides a wavelength range from 190 to 1100 nm with a 1 nm bandwidth and high spectral resolution (>1.6). Equipped with a photodiode array detector, it delivers rapid spectral acquisition, with scan times as fast as 0.1–1.5 seconds and spectral readings completed in under 1 second, enabling high-throughput applications critical in molecular diagnostics and biochemical analysis.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Wavelength accuracy: < ±0.5 nm; reproducibility: < ±0.02 nm
  • Photometric accuracy: < ±0.005 AU; noise: < 0.0002 AU rms; photometric stability: < 0.001 AU/h
  • Stray light levels comply with ASTM standards, ensuring precise absorbance measurements critical for bioprocessing and gene editing workflows
  • Integrated with a PC and UV/Vis ChemStation B4 software suite, including modules for:
  • Advanced spectral method development and validation (G1116)
  • Biochemical kinetics and thermal denaturation analysis (G1117), essential in protein melting and DNA melting studies
  • Dissolution testing with manual and automated robotic support (G1118)
  • Core general functions for routine spectral and validation tasks (G1115)

This spectrophotometer is widely used in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, supporting live-cell imaging absorbance assays and molecular biology research requiring precise optical density measurements. Its rapid scanning and robust software integration make it a vital tool for high-fidelity spectral analysis and molecular diagnostic applications.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
