qX2/UV1280
Air-cooled, Peltier-controlled cuvette holder for the single-beam Shimadzu UV-1280 UV-Vis SpectrophotometerThe qX2/UV1280 is a temperature-controlled cuvette holder with two optical ports for use in Shimadzu’s single beam UV-1280 spectrophotometer. The qX2/UV1280 replaces the sample tray (base and front panel) of the spectrophotometer, with utilities brought conveniently to the front panel. Use the qX2/UV1280 to set and maintain precise sample temperatures and stir at a steady reproducible rate, while bathing the cuvette in a controlled gaseous environment. Although dependent on rapid, precise Peltier technology, no circulating water is required for normal operation from 0 °C to 110 °C. Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, and operate the qX2/UV1280 from 0 °C down to -35 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. Control the qX2/UV1280, using the TC 1B Temperature Controller included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase.
