Vernier GoDirect Spectrophotometer and SVIS Plus Flurometer

The Go Direct SpectroVis Plus GDX-SVISPL spectrophotometer quickly measures a full wavelength spectrum.

Designed specifically for education applications, the SpectraVis Plus connects directly wirelessly via Bluetooth® or via cable via USB to your platform (Computer, Tablet, Mobile or Vernier Labquest 2 interface).

To use the Go Direct SpectroVis Plus spectrophotometer, download our free Spectral Analysis app. The app is compatible with computers, Chromebooks, and mobile devices. Students can also connect to LabQuest 2 or a computer running Logger Pro to perform analysis.

This device can easily collect a full wavelength spectrum (absorbance, percent transmission, or intensity) in less than a second. Once the peak wavelength is determined, the concentration of a solution can be established (Beer’s Law) or rates of reactions can be monitored. A low light path allows the SpectroVis Plus Go Direct spectrophotometer to be used for micro-scale laboratories and biochemistry applications with micro and semi-micro cuvettes.

The Spectrovis plus Go Direct Spectrometer can be used in a variety of experiments:

  • Determine the peak wavelength to collect data on solution concentration for Beer’s Law studies or to monitor reaction rates.
  • Collect a full wavelength spectrum to measure absorbance, percent transmittance, fluorescence (at 405 nm or 500 nm excitation), or emissions.
  • Perform enzyme kinetics experiments.
  • Participate in equilibrium studies of absorbance vs. time or absorbance vs. concentration.
  • Perform colorimetric or fluorescent bioassays.
  • Use the fiber optic spectrophotometer to measure emissions from flame tests or other light sources.

For a more detailed emissions analysis, consider the Vernier Emissions Spectrometer.

Emission Spectrometer

Use the Vernier Emissions Spectrometer to perform the emissions analysis. It gives precise measurements in a range of 350-900 nm to examine the spectra of light bulbs, spectrum tubes, or the sun.

This is the perfect tool to carry out emissions analysis. The Vernier Emissions Spectrometer allows you to instantly collect emission spectra from light bulbs, gas discharge tubes, or the sun. It connects directly to your computer or LabQuest with a standard USB cable and provides accurate measurements in the 350-900 nm range.

It is recommended to use the Vernier Emissions Spectrometer without an optical fiber to measure the spectra of large sources, such as the sun, or to compare types of light bulbs.

An optical fiber is recommended for the analysis of emissions from a gas spectrum tube.
