The Shimadzu UVmini-1285 has a compact body with a width of 416mm and a depth of 379mm. It comes with a clear and visible LCD screen, which does not require a computer connection. Users can easily operate it and view the results intuitively, making the operation more convenient. The instrument itself has a storage function, which can store instrument settings, method conditions, test data, etc. At the same time, data can also be stored and transferred through a USB flash drive, and the data results can be saved, opened, and viewed on the computer.
The slit width of UVmini-1285 is 1.5nm, and it adopts a proportional dual beam optical system, providing better data stability than xenon lamp instruments. Its main characteristics are as follows:

(1) 1.5nm spectral bandwidth
UVmini-1285 not only reduces stray light but also improves its resolution, further meeting the needs of your laboratory drug analysis;

(2) Ultra fast analysis speed
Fast movement and scanning speed have achieved rapid detection across the entire wavelength range of 190nm-1100nm;
(3) Standard instrument automatic verification function
The standard automatic verification function, which is essential for data reliability, will also be implemented effectively;
(4) USB memory can be used for data storage and transfer:
UVmini-1285 uses a USB flash drive to store and transfer data, and the data results can be opened, saved, and viewed on a computer;
(5) Having multiple measurement modes to meet various types of measurement needs
From photometry, spectral scanning, time scanning, kinetic determination to DNA/protein quantification, configure the complete set of programs required for UV/VIS analysis;
(6) Combining rich attachments to achieve different applications
Standard DNA/protein programs, kinetic programs, time scanning programs, and protein analysis programs are available, and residual pesticide testing programs can also be optionally selected to meet your needs in multiple fields such as biology and life sciences, medicine, chemistry, food, and environment;
(7) Simple instrument maintenance and inspection:
It can record and display the usage time of deuterium and halogen lamps, and users can regularly check to determine the replacement cycle of the lamps.
Multi domain applications
1) In the field of biology and life sciences
DNA/protein quantification, turbidity measurement of culture medium, and determination of trace samples;
2) Medical field
According to the resolution requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), Shimadzu UVmini-1285 measured a peak to peak to valley ratio of 1.64 for hexane toluene solution in the range of 270nm to 266nm, which is better than EP and fully meets the needs of pharmaceutical companies and vocational colleges for the use of spectrophotometers in pharmaceutical related practical learning;
3) Chemical field
By using spectroscopy and quantitative analysis, we determined the membrane transmittance using our rich accessories;
4) Food sector
Color determination, vitamin food additive determination, and mineral quantification. An optional program package for pesticide residue testing can be used to quickly detect the residues of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides in accordance with GB/T 5009.199-2003;
5) Environmental field
Simple quantitative procedures can be used for measuring transmittance turbidity and RoHS hexavalent chromium. It can also be used to determine total phosphorus, total nitrogen, Fe, Cu, and ammonia in river water, lake water, and swamps.
