Spectrophotometers

Lab spectrophotometers are essential laboratory equipment for measuring how light interacts with samples across the ultraviolet and visible spectrum. Used throughout life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and quality control environments, these instruments support accurate quantification, reproducible workflows, and high precision analysis. MIDSCI offers lab spectrophotometers designed for ease of use, reliable calibration, and dependable performance in routine and advanced spectroscopy applications.

Types of Lab Spectrophotometers

UV-Vis Spectrophotometers

A UV-Vis spectrophotometer measures absorbance, transmittance, and reflectance across a defined wavelength range in the ultraviolet and visible spectrums. These systems are commonly used for nucleic acid and protein analysis, chemical analysis, and reagent verification. Options include single-beam and double-beam designs to support wavelength accuracy and consistent results.

Visible Spectrophotometers

A visible spectrophotometer focuses on measurements within the visible light range and is often used for color measurement, assays, and routine quality control. These instruments provide dependable functionality for day-to-day lab workflows that require fast, repeatable absorbance readings.

Portable and Benchtop Spectrophotometers

Benchtop systems are ideal for high-throughput laboratory equipment setups, while a portable spectrophotometer supports flexibility for field work or shared lab spaces. Both formats are designed to deliver reliable spectroscopy performance with a user-friendly interface.

Microvolume Spectrophotometers

Microvolume instruments allow direct measurement of small sample volumes without cuvettes, making them ideal for DNA analysis, proteins, and cell culture workflows where sample conservation is critical.
