Polarizer Holder P/N 210-2130. The polarizer holder replaces the standard cell holder and is used to determine the polarization characteristics of samples by linearly polarizing the sample beam or for determining polarization with samples placed between the polarizer and detector. Consists of Zeiss film polarizers located in front of and behind the sample. The wavelength range is 400-750 nm and each polarizer can be set in a range of 0 - 90 degrees. Sample size requirements are as follows: Area maximum 55 x 100 mm and minimum 12 x 25 mm. Allowed sample thickness 0.5 to 5 mm. NOTE: The sample must be flat on both sides with parallel surfaces.

Application Notes

Note Number:
UV120005
The standard installation of UH5300 spectrophotometer includes an automatic 6-cell turret. When analyzing many samples, the increased work efficiency can be expected by using the "intelligent Start" function. UH5300 spectrophotometer also focuses on the absorbance differences between cells. All cells are measured for the auto-zero values, which are recorded as the correction values. Therefore, the instrument is capable of handling the analysis where a slight absorbance difference is being measured. This time, Cr(VI) in water samples was analyzed by using this function.

Note Number:
UV120006
The water quality standard for nitrite ion is 10mg/L or less as nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen. When a calibration curve at the wavelength of 539 nm was generated by the computation mode for the quantitative analysis, the calibration curve with a good correlation coefficient of R2=1.000 was obtained over the range of 0–1mg/L.

Note Number:
UV120004
UH5300 spectrophotometer was developed pursuing a new operability which has never existed in the past and the instrument can be controlled by iPad or Windows PC. When analyzing many samples or a change over a long period of time, the real-time confirmation of the data from a remote area is possible. The next sample can be prepared based on the analysis result or the status of the analysis can be confirmed at any time and therefore, the increased work efficiency can be expected.

Note Number:
UV130001
The absorbance of BTB, a pH indicator, was measured this time. The pH indicators are dyes of which colors change depending onpH and are used not only for pH measurements, but also for LC (liquid chromatograph) post-column methods (LC sheet No. 206).
