High Performance to Meet Diverse Needs

Ultra-Fast Scan

Spectra can be acquired as fast as 29,000 nm/min. Ultra-fast scan is effective in tracking chemical reactions in a short time. In
addition to the absorbance change at specified wavelengths, spectra can also be acquired in a short time with the UV-1900i.
Therefore, more detailed behavior can be investigated by observing spectra with the UV-1900i.
The figures below show the analysis of the particle agglomeration process when salts are added to silver nanoparticles.
Measurements of the 300 to 700 nm region were performed in ultra-fast scan mode. In addition to the decrease of
absorbance at 400 nm and the increase of absorbance at 480 nm, the temporal changes of spectra can also be observed.
