Description
Lab Spectrophotometer 360-1000 nm
This is a must have for any algae lab/commercial facility. A spectrophotometer produces a quick, easy, and instant digital numeric reading of algae density. Our Spectrophotometer works to read any species of microalgae. All you have to do is turn the dial to set wavelength and blank the water sample. Then you are ready to add your algae and read. This device makes it easy as to track growth rates and density. We supply one replacement bulb. Includes: Instruction manual, dust cover, 2.5 x 12.5 x 45mm square glass cuvette and one replacement bulb. We will have a video posted shortly on how to operate this spectrophotometer to measure algae density.
