Thin Film Coating Comparison between the UV-2600 and SolisSpec-3700 UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometers

Introduction

Many times the instrumentation between an R&D department and the production or QA/QC departments is different. Typically, R&D instrumentation has more features that provide more detail and variety in their ability to investigate samples, whereas typical QA/QC instrumentation may be more focused on their tasks. Often, the question of how spectra from one bench will compare to spectra of another bench is posed. To demonstrate the uniformity of the Shimadzu line of instrumentation, samples with thin film coatings were examined by reflection and transmission on the research-type SolidSpec-3700 and the QA/QC style UV-2600 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers.
