SEC2120 Spectrometer system

Wide wavelength range spectrometer (200 ~ 1025 nm)

SEC2120 Spectrometer system


Application:
- Spectroelectrochemical measurements
- Analysis of solution composition properties
- Thin film thickness/composition measurements
- Fluorescence detection
- Environmental (water and soil) analysis, etc.

The SEC2120 spectrometer system is a spectrometer that enables various spectrometric measurements, focusing on spectroelectrochemical measurements. The high-performance grating and optical design, makes possible to measure with high sensitivity in a wide wavelength range, from ultraviolet to near infrared (UV/VIS/NIR), with a single unit.
For the light source, a compact modularized deuterium halogen lamp is used, which is fixed to the cell holder on the accessory platform for the measurement.
Furthermore, the spectrometer and the light source come with SMA905 connector, which makes possible to connect various optical fibers and probes, to construct the original measurement system.

How to select a compact spectrometer


Structure of SEC2120 spectrometer system

The SEC2120 spectrometer system consists of the following spectrometer, cell holder, light source, platform and collimating lens. For spectroelectrochemical measurements and absorbance measurements, each instrument is fixed on the platform.
For measurement using immersion probe or optical fiber, you can use it by directly connection of the optical fiber to the spectrometer and light source.
The spectrometer is connected to a PC with a USB cable and controlled with Spectra Smart analysis software.

Improvement highlights of the SE2120 Spectrometer system

SEC2121 spectrometer features a 1024-element detector with a pixel size of 28 x 200 µm, offering twice the sensitivity of a 2048-element detector (14 x 200 µm, blue line in the figure below). This marks a significant enhancement in sensitivity compared to SEC2021 spectrometer.

Strong light detection
SEC2121, Integration time 250 µs (Min.100 µs)
SEC2021, Integration time 1 ms (Min.1 ms)

SEC2021 would overload when measuring strong light, but SEC2121 uses a high-speed exposure CMOS detector, so it can measure strong light by shortening the integration time.

Basic software operation

Here, two examples of the software operation are brief explained, Measurement data analysis using SEC Spectra and Saving current Spectrum (Current spectrum curves as a temporary log).

Measurement data analysis using SEC Spectra

For the data analysis using the SEC Spectra, the measurement data file must be saved in a SEC Spectra's proprietary file format (extension .sps), the file in CSV or TXT format can not be analysis using the software.

Loading and playing
Loading & Playing the time sequence file.

The time sequence file saved in Create file at every tracking interval can be opened, SEC Spectra will display the playback tools for the time sequence file. As shown in the left figure, there are icons that allows the user to Fast-rewind, Play, Pause, and Fast-forward the playback of time sequence. The open file will keep playing over and over again once it is loaded until Pause button is pressed.


Saving current Spectrum

Depends of the experimental requiriment, it is possible to choose from the four saving ways below:
▸  Individual Spectrum curves from the toolbar
▸  Individual Spectrum curves from the spectrum data pane
▸  All Spectrum curves in the current window
▸  Current spectrum curves as a temporary log
Below is a example for the

Current spectrum curves as a temporary log
Saving current spectrum curves as a temporary log.

In addition to saving the spectrum as a file, SEC Spectra allows to save the spectrum curve being measured as a temporary log. The temporary log are displayed on the graph being measured, so if you change the integration time of the original Spectrum curve, the difference between the integration time of the two curves can be observed.
