Equipment Details

Make : Perkin Elmer

Model : Lambda 950

 

Instrumentation:

Equipped with 3 detectors: A PMT detector (photomultiplier tube) for the ultraviolet and visible regions, and InGaAs and PbS detectors for near infrared region. The InGaAs detector bridges the gap between the PMT - PbS switching wavelength where sensitivity is typically low to ensure high sensitivity over the entire measurement wavelength range. With <0.00003 Abs noise at 1500 nm, the world´s lowest noise level is achieved.

Technical Specification:

Working Principles

It involves the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by the substances in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum. This will result in changes in the electronic structure of ions and molecules through the excitations of bonded and non-bonded electrons.
