CE1021 - Cecil CE1021 Spectrophotometer

• Used for quantitative analysis of substances in solution by measuring their absorbance of ultraviolet or visible light.
• Commonly employed in pharmaceutical research for drug discovery and quality control of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Utilised in environmental testing for analysing water quality and detecting pollutants.
• Applied in food and beverage industries for quality assurance, colour analysis, and nutrient content determination.
• Essential in academic and industrial laboratories for general chemical analysis and research.

Typical Wavelength Range

Units of this type commonly operate within the 190-1100 nm range (UV-Vis).

Photometric Accuracy

Typically ±0.005 Abs at 1.0 Abs, crucial for precise measurements.

Bandwidth

Commonly 1-2 nm, affecting spectral resolution.

Light Source

Typically features a deuterium lamp for UV and a tungsten-halogen lamp for visible light.

Power Supply

Units of this class commonly require a standard single-phase 230V AC, 50Hz supply.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions are typically around 500mm (W) x 400mm (D) x 250mm (H), requiring benchtop space.

Sample Handling

Typically accommodates standard 10mm pathlength cuvettes; some may offer accessories for flow cells or micro-volume samples.

• What maintenance is typically required for a UV/Vis spectrophotometer?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves cleaning the sample compartment, checking lamp alignment, and periodic replacement of the deuterium and tungsten-halogen lamps, which have finite lifespans.

• Can this unit be used for kinetic studies?

• What type of software is typically included or required?

• Is calibration necessary for accurate results?

• What are the common consumables for this equipment?

Spectrophotometers remain valued across research, QA and diagnostics for their precision and reliability. Buyers typically prioritise wavelength range, optical bench condition and calibration history when purchasing used units. These instruments generally perform consistently when properly maintained. Common strengths include straightforward operation, durability of core optical components, and wide availability of compatible software. Prospective buyers should verify calibration certificates and request functional testing data before purchase.
