SEC2020

Spectrometer system

The SEC2020 Spectrometer system is a compact spectrometer system developed by ALS

Co, .Ltd and provided by BAS Inc. One unit can measure a wide wavelength range from

ultraviolet to near infrared (UV/VIS/NIR) with high sensitivity, corresponding to optical

measurements such as spectrum, absorbance, transmittance, reflectance , fluorescence,

light source and concentration.

In addition, BAS, which also provides electrochemical measuring instruments, may also

offer know-how for spectroelectrochemical measurement, electrochemical

measurements combined with spectroscopy.

* Optional products may be prepared separately.
