C-7100/7200 Series Spectrophotometer

The C-7100/7200 Series Spectrophotometer from PEAK Instruments is a laboratory UV-Vis spectrophotometer series designed for accurate and repeatable optical measurements across a broad 190–1100 nm wavelength range. The series combines optimized optical components, microcomputer-based electronic control, and a practical benchtop design for routine laboratory analysis.

The C-7100 models use a single-beam optical configuration, while the C-7200 models use a double-beam optical configuration. Different model variants are available with spectral bandwidths of 2 nm, 1 nm, or selectable 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 nm configurations. This allows laboratories to select a configuration appropriate for their analytical requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

The C-7100/7200 Series Spectrophotometer incorporates several features designed to make routine UV-Vis measurements convenient and efficient.

1. 7 inch color LCD screen and long life, more comfortable and sensitive silicone buttons. The instrument can show various scanning curves and charts for users to complete various tests without computers.

2. Support USB storage and different data formats such as Excel, txt and image(PC software）. Users can output test data to flash memory, open and edit them on computers directly without any auxiliary software.

3. Advanced hardware and 32-bit Cortex_M3 processor with the clock speed 120MHz. The equipment can store 5000 pieces of data and 500 curves.

4. High-efficiency holographic grating of 1200 lines/mm and low stray light.

5. The equipment has long-life socket type tungsten-halogen and deuterium lamps which can work up to 2000 hours, can switch the lamps according to test needs and record its working time automatically. Socket type lamps make the replacement much easier.

6. Excellent silicon photodiode can guarantee the equipment is highly sensitive and stable.

7. Huge sample chamber and various accessories can meet all kinds of needs.

8. Can be connected to printer directly and output test charts and data.
