This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Perkin Elmer Lambda 900 is a UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer. The Perkin Elmer Lambda 900 covers the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges.[1]
How it works
The Lambda 900 is operated through UV Winlab software. The Lambda 900 has a sample compartment and a cover that is closed during measurement. The Lambda 900 supports scan setup with start wavelength and end wavelength parameters. The Lambda 900 supports ordinate mode selections including A and %T. The Lambda 900 supports UV/Vis integration time settings and NIR lamp integration time settings. The Lambda 900 uses a grating of 1440 lines/mm for UV/Vis and a grating of 360 lines/mm for NIR. The Lambda 900 supports slit entry from 0.05 nm to 5 nm. The Lambda 900 can perform background correction before measurement. The Lambda 900 measures a blank in reference and sample cell holders before measuring the sample. The Lambda 900 displays the completed spectrum in a graph window and can label peaks in the results.[5]

Frequently asked questions
How is such a system calibrated?General reference — not yet source-verified
Calibration generally involves measuring known reference standards, such as calibrated reflectance standards, transmittance standards, or wavelength standards. The instrument's baseline and zero settings are checked, and any deviations are corrected using the software before quantitative measurements are performed.
What kinds of samples can be measured?General reference — not yet source-verified
Sample types include flat glass or optical substrates, coated mirrors, filters, films, and sometimes liquids or powders in cuvettes, depending on the sample compartment configuration. The main requirement is that the sample has suitable geometry and optical clarity for the measurement mode being used.
What routine maintenance does this class of instrument require?General reference — not yet source-verified
Routine maintenance typically includes checking and replacing light sources as they age, cleaning optical surfaces, verifying detector performance, and periodically running calibration or validation routines. Keeping the instrument free of dust and maintaining stable environmental conditions also supports reliable operation.
