spectrophotometers facilities

the instrumentation laboratory operates two dual beam, research grade, spectrophotometers.

the instruments are used by researchers and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for a variety of colorimetry based tests including phosphorus, sulphate and chlorophyll and have been used to study colouring in gem stones. pulp and paper chemists have used the instrument for studies of lignin. both instruments use the cary winuv software.
