We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Spectrophotometer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Camspec and Hellma join forces in the laboratory from
Camspec, which we summarised at the time by saying "The precision and reliability of the Camspec M500 series of spectrophotometers continues to meet the exacting demands of scientists, biochemists and laboratory technicians around the world".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Lambda 1050 performs across UV/vis/NIR range from
Perkin Elmer LAS (UK): "With its unique three-detector design, the Lambda 1050 has a full scanning range from 175-3300 nanometres, and an InGaAs detector expands this in the 800-2600 range for measurement in the NIR".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments
concerning its UV-1800
- take a look at UV-vis spectrophotometer features USB operation
which says: "Maintaining what is said to be the highest level of wavelength resolution in its class (1nm), the UV-1800 functions as a standalone instrument or can be PC-controlled with USB memory".
Take a look also at the news release from Analytik Jena UK, Flame AA spectrometer comes with injection module,
as well as A higher standard in visible spectrophotometry from Camspec,
and Achema 2009: a global laboratory meeting point from ACHEMA 2009.
