Shimadzu UV-3600 Plus

This Shimadzu UV-3600 Plus is a used triple-monochromator UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer that has been maintained for reliable laboratory performance. It covers an extended wavelength range from the ultraviolet through the visible and into the near infrared, making it suitable for materials science, thin film analysis, and advanced chemical characterization work that requires wide spectral coverage in a single instrument. The three detectors housed within the unit, photomultiplier tube, InGaAs, and PbS, allow seamless measurement across the full range without swapping components. Laboratories doing nanomaterial research, coatings analysis, semiconductor inspection, and general UV-Vis-NIR absorbance or transmittance studies will find this unit well suited to their workflow. It integrates with Shimadzu's UVProbe software for method development, spectral overlay, and quantitative analysis, giving users flexibility in reporting and data handling. The instrument's high sensitivity and low stray light design support demanding applications where subtle spectral features must be resolved. Being a used unit, this UV-3600 Plus offers a cost-effective route into high-end UV-Vis-NIR capability for labs that need broad spectral range without the expense of a brand new system. It remains a strong choice for research institutions, quality control labs, and specialty testing facilities looking to add or replace spectrophotometric capacity.
