Typical Specifications

Typical pathlength range

Units in this class commonly offer variable pathlengths, typically from 0.01 mm to 20 mm.

Wavelength range

UV-Vis spectrophotometers of this type typically cover a range from 190 nm to 850 nm.

Materials of construction

Process-contacting parts are commonly made from biocompatible materials such as stainless steel (e.g., 316L) and fused silica.

Connectivity

For this class of equipment, common connections include standard sanitary fittings (e.g., Tri-Clamp) for easy integration into process lines.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard industrial single-phase power, such as 230V AC, 50/60 Hz, with low power consumption.

Operating temperature

Units are generally designed to operate within typical bioprocessing temperatures, often between 4°C and 40°C.
