Thermo Scientific SPECTRONIC 15

molecular spectroscopy
Measure solutions in 10 mm
square cuvettes with the
Thermo Scientific SPECTRONIC 15
spectrophotometer. With the same
easily understood controls as the
familiar SPECTRONIC™ 20D, this
spectrophotometer offers walk-up
simplicity and manual wavelength
selection for fast, reliable analysis.
Product Specifications
The SPECTRONIC 15 continues the Thermo
Scientific tradition of providing customers with
a simple, practical laboratory instrument for
basic testing and teaching. The SPECTRONIC 15
is a compact, easy-to-use spectrophotometer
with a large, bright digital display. With
simple controls modeled on the familiar
SPECTRONIC 20, new users will quickly
get reliable results with minimal training.
Measurement wavelength is continuously
adjustable across the visible region and
beyond, between 340 nm and 950 nm, and
absorbance is displayed from 0 to 1.999.
• A ‘workhorse’ instrument for environmental,
quantitative, food and beverage, agriculture
and chemical QC applications
• An essential classroom tool for teaching
future chemists and life scientists
• 340 nm to 940 nm range supports a wide
variety of photometric analyses from enzyme
analysis at 340 nm to phosphates at 880 nm
• Large, bright digital display makes set up
easy and gives clear, quick, and accurate
readings in:

SPECTRONIC 15
Simple, reliable spectrophotometry for
education and routine solutions analysis
System Benefits
• Compact design saves valuable bench space
• Simple, manual wavelength selection and
few moving parts results in a robust
instrument with low maintenance and
upkeep over time
Part of Thermo Fisher Scientific
– 0 to 199.9 % Transmittance
– 0 to 1.999 Absorbance
– 0 to 1999 Concentration
(with a factor value of 0.1–1000)
• Save time with the Concentration Mode
of the SPECTRONIC 15. There is no need
to manually construct standard curves for
each analysis. First, set the concentration
using a standard solution, then place the
unknown sample in the instrument, and
read the concentration on the display.
• Sample compartment readily accommodates
10 mm square glass or disposable plastic
cuvettes

SPECTRONIC 15
The SPECTRONIC 15 spectrophotometer is a
practical, useful tool that lab managers can
rely on for everyday laboratory applications.
No other spectrophotometer gives you the
range of functionality and reliability at such
an affordable price. The SPECTRONIC 15 is
designed to reduce the voltage on the tungsten lamp as you increase the wavelength.
This design feature increases the lifetime of
the lamp and lowers the cost of ownership.
