17 Bradford Students Measure Spectrophotometer Success
The new teaching floor of Bradford University’s Biomedical Sciences facility accommodates up to 200 students, with Jenway 6300 and 6305 spectrophotometers chosen as standard equipment across the super lab. Having a strong ethos of ‘Making Knowledge Work’, Bradford University’s continual investment ensures a world-class teaching and learning environment with state-of-the-art facilities. One result is that 128 Biomedical Science students can now be taught in a single space, with the option of increasing the total to 200 students by using a second laboratory linked via multimedia communication systems. According to Andy Reed, Superintendant for Biomedical Sciences: “It was decided there would be significant advantages in using the same equipment throughout our new super lab facility. For example, all student instruction cards and literature for practical classes could be identical. Having been a Jenway customer for some years, we favoured the company’s products from the outset of planning for the super lab. Our standard pH meters are all Jenway 3505 instruments and we now have a total of 102 Jenway 6300 and 6305 spectrophotometers installed. As well as being very user-friendly for the students, the instruments are simple to maintain and provide excellent results for photometric measurements in biomedical and clinical science experiments. Use of the spectrophotometers is also included in compulsory tests which check whether our students’ lab skills reach the level required for their course and for future work following graduation.”
Designed for use in education, Jenway’s 63 series of spectrophotometers are high quality, low-cost units ideally suited to applications in schools and colleges, as well as in QC and testing procedures for many different services and industries. The 6300 visible spectrophotometer covers the wavelength range of 320 to 1000nm, while the 6305 is a UV/vis model with a pulsed xenon lamp. Both accept a wide variety of sampling accessories which add to their versatility.

Spectrophotometer Aids OLED Developers and Manufacturers
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) - the next generation of displays and Light sources - have an emissive electroluminescent layer that consists of organic molecules in a supporting matrix. For full colour, high-resolution displays, this layer is formed into millions of microscopic pixels in ordered rows and columns.
The biggest advantages of the OLED devices, unlike the traditional Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD), is that the pixels combine both the light source and The colour source making them lighter, thinner and more energy efficient.
However, the consistency of the intensity and the colour of the optical emission across the device is critical, so this is where instruments such as the Craic Technologies 308 FPD(tm) are used.
The 308 FPD(tm) spectrophotometer is designed to measure and compare the spectral output, intensity and colour consistency of each microscopic pixel In milliseconds, thereby quickly creating spectral maps for a whole device and ensuring quality control is maintained.
Craic Technologies is a global technology leader focused on innovations for microscopy and microspectroscopy in the ultraviolet, visible and near- infrared regions. Their 308 FPDTM
spectrophotometer is
designed to be added to the open photoport of a microscope or probe station and is one of a number of their spectrophotometer instruments available through Elliot Scientific for customers in the UK and Ireland.
