Fast Spectral Capture from Portable and Bench-top Spectrophotometers

The BWS i-SpecTM spectrophotometer series from Pacer International Ltd enables fast spectral capturing of 20 to >100 spectra per second, making these products ideal for spectrophotometric studies where a high spectrum capture rate is essential. The series, manufactured by B&WTek, is designed for lab applications in a lightweight, portable package. Applications include agricultural, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical spectral analysis, material spectral diffuse property characterizations, opaque chemical solution analysis and both bench-top and field spectrophotometric measurements.

i-Spec models are diffuse transmittance/reflectance spectrophotometers with built-in integrating spheres or fibre-optic remote probes, and are offered with other sampling accessory options for bench-top or portable applications. They are grating based, and have no moving parts except a cooling fan.

The UV-SNIR and NIR models employ TE cooled CCD array detectors (200-1050 nm), InGaAs array (920-1700 nm), and PbS array (1100-2900 nm) detection systems, respectively for optimal UV, Vis, and NIR measurement sensitivity and dynamic range to be achieved.

The i-Spec products use high intensity and long lifetime illumination sources, and high speed detection systems. Provided by Pacer with a USB 1.1/2.0 interface for plug-and-play connectivity, and Windows-based operating software with OCX interface to major chemometrics software packages, the systems are extremely user-friendly.

Full i-Spec data and the new B&WTek product catalog are available from Pacer International.
