Evolution One Series Spectrophotometer User Guide
The Evolution One series UV-visible spectrophotometers integrate advanced hardware
features with the power and flexibility of a wide range of Smart Accessories™. The One series
spectrophotometers include:
• Evolution One
• Evolution One Plus
All instruments include our Insight Pro software for data collection and analysis. The
Insight Pro software provides five modes of operation:
• Fixed, to measure the light passing through the sample at one or more wavelengths.
• Scan, to measure the light that passes through the sample over a range of wavelengths.
• Quant, to set up and perform quantitative analyses of sample data.
• Kinetics, to make time- and temperature-based kinetics measurements.
• Live Display, for quick measurements and simplified data collections in Fixed or
Scan mode.
The spectrophotometer can be run from a Windows®-compatible computer connected to the
instrument (Computer Control). Computer Control instruments must be connected to an
external computer with the proper software installed. For instructions to set up a Computer
