It may be a long, daunting word that sounds like an instrument of intergalactic exploration, but it’s just a device that gets scientists and engineers information about materials. It does so by shining light on a sample and then measuring how much of that light is absorbed, or comes back out, to get a sense of its inner life. This sort of information can tell us much about the properties of the material, its color, purity, even its composition.
Optical spectrophotometers are used by a wide array of industries for a multitude of purposes. In the food industry, for example, they can be used to test the quality of ingredients and ensure that products are safe to eat. They assist doctors and scientists in the medical field in analyzing blood samples and diagnosing diseases. Artists and designers even use them to help create the perfect colors for their work. AIK optical emission spectrometer are versatile in both design and performance and find application in a variety of uses.
The data output from an optical spectrophotometer is something that you need to know how to interpret. Various peaks and valleys within the graph that a spectrophotometer creates can tell us about different types of stuff inside a sample. By using it to measure known standards or earlier measurements, experts can identify and measure the chemicals in a sample. AIK’s optical spectrometer machine include an easy to use software making data interpretation and analysis easy and intuitive.
We live in a world where technology is always pushing forward. And optical spectrophotometers are no different. AIK is always taking steps to enhance our spectrophotometers with the newest technology. These include such attributes as auto-calibration, high resolution detectors and sophisticated data processing algorithms. These enhancements not only enhance the accuracy and dependability of our spectrophotometers, but also make them as intuitive as possible. As technology progresses, AIK's optical spectrometer instrument will reflect enhanced features.
As with any piece of equipment, optical spectrophotometers must be calibrated and maintained to not give incorrect results. Calibration is the tuning of an instrument getting it back in check, in case it has lost its calibration. Maintenance is also included in the wait calibration service. It’s ideal for users to occasionally calibrate their spectrophotometers and create a maintenance regimen in order to maintain a great condition. With good maintenance, their optical spectrophotometer will perform well and provide consistent results for a long time.
