Shimadzu UV-2401PC Double Beam UV-Visible Spectrophotometer for Analytical and Biotechnological Applications

The Shimadzu UV-2401PC is a high-performance double beam UV-Visible spectrophotometer featuring a single monochromator system designed for precise analytical measurements in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing research. It offers a wavelength range from 190 to 900 nm, expandable to 1100 nm, with a spectral bandwidth selection of 0.1 to 5 nm and a highly accurate wavelength accuracy of ±0.3 nm.

Key features include:

• Low stray light (<0.015% at 220 nm and 340 nm) enhancing spectral fidelity for sensitive fluorescence analysis and absorbance measurements.
• A 50 W halogen lamp and Deuterium lamp light sources, supporting studies requiring dual light source excitation, optimized for applications in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
• Resolution of 0.1 nm and repeatability of ±0.1 nm ensures reliable data for kinetic studies and biomanufacturing quality control.
• Integrated UVProbe 2.42 software facilitates advanced data processing with capabilities for Kubelka-Munk conversion, area calculations, and peak detection, streamlining biochemical assay analysis.
• Compact unit dimensions (660 x 570 x 275 mm) and manageable weight (36 kg) support lab environments focused on clinical diagnostics and cell imaging.

This spectrophotometer is critical for researchers requiring accurate absorption and reflectance data, widely adopted in neuroscience, synthetic biology, and biomedical engineering fields. Its capacity to analyze small volumes and highly absorbent samples makes it essential for molecular biology researchers and bioprocessing pipelines demanding precision optical measurements.
