The PS-2600A wireless spectrometer is designed for introductory chemistry, biology, and physics experiments. Free PASCO spectroscopy software lets students quickly obtain absorbance spectra in the visible range. After specifying a target wavelength, they can select displays comparing absorbance with concentration (Beer's law), tracking reaction rates (kinetics), or investigating emission spectra with an optional fiber-optic cable. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or USB connects easily to student devices including Mac®/Windows® computers, Chromebook™ notebooks, iPad® tablets, and Android™ tablets. Included free PASCO spectroscopy software simplifies operation. Fast scans range from milliseconds to minutes depending on experimental settings. Light from an LED-enhanced tungsten lamp passes through the solution, enters a slit, and reaches a high-quality diffraction grating. Separated colors fall on the sensor, and the slit image illuminates more than 1000 sensors in the array on the opposite side. The charge-coupled-device (CCD) array detects each color's brightness for analysis at specific wavelengths. With an optional fiber-optic cable, the instrument analyzes light from emission-spectrum experiments: Insert the cable into the cuvette holder and aim its end at the source to collect data. Solvents used must be compatible with polystyrene cuvettes and the ABS-polymer housing. Solutions containing strong organic solvents such as acetone require glass cuvettes or 12-millimeter (mm) test tubes. Leaks of these solvents damage plastic cuvettes and the instrument's internal structure. The PASCO wireless spectrometer integrates fully with our easy-to-use spectroscopy software. This free software supports most student devices for quick sharing and viewing of data within experimental groups.

Applications

Determine enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates; study absorbance versus concentration (Beer's law); monitor photosynthesis rates using dichlorophenolindophenol (DPIP); analyze absorption spectra of photosynthetic plant pigments; monitor cell-culture growth; determine protein concentration in solution; study photosynthesis in algae beads with pH indicators. Typical experiments: Emission spectra of flame tests or fluorescent lamps; easy determination of characteristic peak wavelengths for concentration data; reaction kinetics; enzyme-catalyzed reactions; colored-solution concentrations; Le Chatelier's principle in reversible reactions. Available experiments: Senior-high-school physics: Emission spectra. Senior-high-school biology: Food testing—starch, reducing sugars, and protein; vitamin C detection with DCPIP; absorption-spectrum curves of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

Key Features

Spectral scan range: 390-950nm. Fluorescence excitation wavelengths: 405 nm and 500nm. Intuitive software operation with standard analysis tools. Two-step light/dark brightness calibration. New frequency-calibration function to maintain accuracy throughout instrument life. Clearly marked source and detector positions for correct cuvette orientation. PASCO's cross-platform spectroscopy software also has a free, full-featured application version offering: Simple navigation; one-click light/dark brightness calibration; forthcoming wavelength calibration to correct small shifts during use; automatic display and storage of sample data; built-in scan averaging and data smoothing; intuitive experiment naming for traceability; spectral graphs linking visible wavelengths to colors; built-in Lambert-Beer law and linear fitting for concentration determination; printable spectra and result snapshots; data export as .csv files or .png screenshots for further analysis in Excel, SPARKvue, or PASCO Capstone. Four preset display modes are provided: Solution analysis—absorbance versus wavelength; concentration comparison—absorbance versus concentration (Beer's law); time variation—absorbance versus time (kinetics); external-source analysis—light intensity versus wavelength (emission spectra).
