VS70-PDA-HDR

Miniature 18-Bit Spectrometer

Introducing HORIBA’s VS70-PDA-HDR OEM Photodiode Array Spectrometer…a high-performance USB 2.0 powered compact fiber-coupled spectrometer covering a wide spectral range of 200 to 1000 nm with 18-bit digital resolution.

Based on an enhanced VS70 optical engine and a newly designed, monolithic single board ultra-quiet 18-bit data acquisition system, this “smart” spectrometer system boasts a dynamic range of more than 42,000:1 for industrial, bright-light applications such as emission, absorbance and reflectance.

At the optical heart of this VS70-PDA-HDR lies a proprietary HORIBA type-IV Aberration-corrected Flat-field Holographic Ion-etched concave grating and custom order-sorting filter to eliminate higher diffraction orders.

In addition to the instrument’s single-optics design that provides sterling performance attributes with respect to imaging, sensitivity, resolution and low stray light, this detection system offers flexible I/O triggering for experiment synchronization, as well as a highly efficient USB-powered architecture.

For OEM Industrial Applications

Ideal for industrial bright-light applications such as emission, absorbance, differential optical absorbance, and reflectance.

Examples:

  • Pharmaceuticals & life science
  • Hematology
  • HPLC/UPLC
  • Semiconductor
  • Environment, agriculture and energy
