The simplicity of our spectroscopic systems provides a complete and innovative solution for hands-on activities and active learning of spectroscopic techniques.

  • Evaluating the transmittance spectrum and CIELAB color coordinates of red cabbage extract at different pH values

    Combining the advantages of using a Transmittance Probe inside a reaction vessel where the pH was progressively changed resulting in different colors of the solution. For light emission we used a LS-W20 Light Source and a FLEX Spectrometer with the powerful Lighscan software.

  • Measuring the NIR absorption spectra of Holmium and Didymium Glass Filters with the ProNIR Spectrometer

    In this application note, we study the absorbance in a wide range configuration combining two spectrometers (a FLEX Vis/NIR for and a ProNIR 3)  with the LS-W20 light source working from 300 to 2500 nm. To test this configuration, both holmium and didymium glass filters were used.

  • Investigating the absorption and fluorescence pH dependence of Fluorescein, with a a flow cell

    In this application note, we study the absorbance and fluorescence pH dependence of a fluorescein aqueous solution, using flow cells. The remaining components used were the LS-LED for fluorescence excitation, the LS-W20 for illumination in the absorbance setup and detection with FLEX RES+ spectrometer for both cases.

  • Obtaining the blue, green and red colorants in peanut chocolate candies using UV-Vis absorption and reflectance spectroscopy

    In this application note, we combine a high-power deuterium tungsten-halogen light source (LS-DWHP) with a FLEX spectrometer in a UV-Vis-NIR absorbance and reflectance configuration (this requires the use of a reflectance probe) to obtain the absorbance and reflectance spectra of the blue, green, and red dyes present in peanut chocolate candies.
