Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer

 

The J-1700 is our Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer that can measure enhanced spectra in the far-UV, visible, and NIR regions.  In addition, it has Linear Dichroism capabilities as well.

Features:
  • 175-2500 nm wavelength range with PMT and Dual InGaAs detectors
  • Peltier-controlled cell holder with advanced thermal scanning capabilities
  • Sample compartment accommodating cuvettes of   1, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05 or 0.01 pathlengths
Spectral Range
