Introduction Intended use of SPEKOL 2000 Introduction Intended use of SPEKOL 2000 ® The SPEKOL 2000 is a compact, computer-controlled two-beam spectral photometer to measure the transmission, extinction, concentration and energy level of liquid samples. It is designed to perform measurement within the spectral range of 190 nm to 1100 nm. Its optical system ensures genuine real-time operation, so even variations in the absorption of a reference sample can be compensated while measurement is going on.
