Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Spectrophotometer

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Evolution Array, a UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer driven by Photodiode Array (PDA) technology that offers improvements in laboratory throughput.

The Evolution Array provides significant time advantages. By utilizing advanced photodiode array technology, the instrument offers significant advantages with regards to full-spectrum data acquisition and sample throughput compared to traditional dispersive, monochromator-based spectrophotometers.

Full spectrum data is acquired at less than one second for routine data applications and can be acquired at nearly 50 points per second for advanced kinetics applications.

The system provides simultaneous detection of all wavelengths throughout the UV and visible regions of the spectrum, allowing a nearly instantaneous display of a full absorbance spectrum from 190-1100 nm.

Full-spectrum analysis of every standard and sample allows users to create standard curves, plot 3D graphical displays and examine samples at any wavelength at any time - enabling analytical method development.
