The UV-1900i is a double-beam UV-Vis Spectrophotometer using Shimadzu's original LO-RAY-LIGH™ diffraction grating technology. LabSolutions UV-Vis is a next-generation Shimadzu UV control software pursuing efficiency of analysis. LabSolutions UV-Vis software with easy-to-use is included as standard.
Multi-faceted increase in Efficiency
Analytical Intelligence goes hand in hand with Shimadzu’s ‘Excellence in Science’ brand value proposition, representing the company’s scientific and technological approach to always providing business and research solutions with the most modern analytical systems. Numerous ‘world’s firsts’ which meanwhile have become industrial standards as well as increasingly sensitive measuring methods substantiate this claim. With these technologies, Shimadzu enables customers from the most diverse industries to develop new products and solutions to promote and support consumer, patient and product safety as well as environmental protection.
The first solutions being equipped with Analytical Intelligence functions
The UV-i Selection series provides new product features which are common to all models. They increase efficiency in multi-faceted ways, such as quality control, automation and time-saving as well as data management functionalities:
1. Automatic pass/fail determination for improved efficiency
Systems are equipped as standard with a spectral evaluation function that can determine automatically whether data satisfies specified criteria. The function helps to improve the efficiency of quality control operations by eliminating the steps of manual data analysis otherwise required after acquisition of spectra.
2. Automatic measurement for improved operating efficiency
By connecting an autosampler unit, the system can analyze up to 360 samples automatically. Used in combination with the spectral evaluation function, the entire process including pass/fail determination can be fully automated.
3. Improved data analysis efficiency and stronger data management
Data can be sent to an Excel spreadsheet in real time or saved simultaneously as a text file. This reduces the time spent sending data to separate software for data analysis. Also, Shimadzu’s LabSolutions software includes advanced security functionality for solutions compliant with electronic records and electronic signature (ER/ES) regulations.
The UV-i Selection spectrophotometers serve a broad spectrum of applications. The instruments cover wavelengths from deep ultra-violet up to Near-Infrared range, reaching from 165 – 3,300 nm. They also offer high-sensitivity and fast analysis, and a large diversity of measurement modes.
UV-1900i: awarded system with new functionalities
In addition to the intelligence, innovation and informatics functionalities, the UV-1900i is equipped with an ultra-fast scan acquiring spectra as fast as 29,000 nm /min, providing high-accuracy quantitative analysis and detection of low-concentration components. This double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer applies Shimadzu's original LO-RAY-LIGH diffraction grating technology. Its easy-to-use color touch panel supports excellent operability. The UV-1900i has been awarded with a 2019 Red Dot Design Award, a world-leading design award.
The UV-1900i can be either controlled via a computer or operated as a standalone system, independently without a computer connected. The following features are applicable when used as a standalone System.
1. Data Transfer Function
Up to 999 saved sets of data can be transferred. Consequently, data can be acquired or analyzed remotely from a location other than where the system is installed.
2. Wakeup Function
The wakeup function starts up the system at any specified time. Switching the power ON before the operator arrives at work avoids time spent waiting next to the System.
3. External Control Function
UV-1900i systems can also be controlled with other software, although the LabSolutions UV-Vis software is included as standard. This means that specialized or combined systems including the UV-1900i can be configured.
