The Central Research Facility (CRF) has installed UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer with attachments of Integrating Sphere and Peltier Accessory. The Integrating Sphere is for diffuse reflectance measurements of powder samples and the Peltier Accessory is for kinetics studies of liquid samples from room temperature to 80°C. The Colour Calculator Software is also installed with this equipment to calculate the Colour coordinates of the material.


The key features of UVVISNIR includes:


    Make & model : Agilent Cary 5000

    Wavelength range : 175 nm – 3300 nm

    Monochromator : Double out-of-plane Littrow Monochromator
