WPI offers complete pre-configured systems for a variety of applications from protein analysis to flow-through colorimetric detection in the UV-VIS-NIR spectral region. It is to the customer’s advantage to consider purchasing a complete system. Ordering a pre-configured system eliminates the guesswork of ordering parts and offers the best pricing. In addition, each system has many hours of testing in our research labs by WPI’s scientists.
If you are not sure that a complete system is what you need, we recommend calling and speaking with one of our technical product specialists. We can then configure a customized system especially for you with our complete line of spectroscopy products and accessories. Select a detector based on your own individual application. WPI offers a complete range of CCD (silicon linear array) and PDA (photodiode array) modules, in addition to our full-range cuvette-based Tidas II spectrophotometer.
Choosing the right detector will depend upon the accessories you need, budget, and computer interface. WPI offers an array of innovative fiber optic sampling cells. Many are designed and protected by patents issued to WPI. As the table above shows, customers may choose a sensor cell based upon sample volume and detection limits.
