The Master Science Double Beam UV-Vis Spectrophotometer measures absorbance and transmittance from 190 to 1100 nm with a Czerny-Turner monochromator and a true double-beam optical path. Real-time reference correction cancels lamp and electronic drift, so baselines stay flat through long kinetic and scanning runs.
A spectral bandwidth adjustable from 0.5 to 6 nm in 0.1 nm steps lets the user balance resolution and signal for each method, from narrow pharmacopoeia bands to routine concentration checks.

Key Benefits
- Flexible resolution: choose any bandwidth between 0.5 and 6 nm to match the sharpness of your absorption bands.
- Accurate readings at high absorbance: stray light below 0.03 % keeps results linear for dense or strongly absorbing samples.
- Stable baselines: the Master Science Double Beam UV-Vis Spectrophotometer compares sample and reference beams continuously to cancel drift.
- Lower running cost: the long-life deuterium lamp is rated for more than 2000 hours of operation.
- Fast lamp changes: pre-aligned lamps are replaced without removing the housing or realigning optics.
Laboratories adding chromatographic separation to their spectroscopy work can also look at the Master Science quaternary HPLC system.
