Consists chiefly of lenses or mirrors and dispersing medium LENSES or MIRRORS -focus the radiation, entrance and exit slits to restrict the unwanted radiation DISPERSING MEDIUM - separates wavelengths of the polychromatic radiation from the source

Made from glass blanks, where very narrow parallel lines (grooves) are ruled Has an aluminum coating is applied to create a reflective source

PRISM: -simple -inexpensive -resulting dispersion is angularly nonlinear -angle of dispersion is temperature sensitive
GRATING: -yield linear angular dispersion -temperature insensitive -reflect light in different orders (filter must be

used)

Depends on the slit width and the dispersive power of the monochromator The accuracy of the absorbance measurement depends on the ratio of the spectral bandwidth (SBW) to the natural bandwidth of the spectral band to be measured
Appropriate ratio: 20

The lower the spectral bandwidth, the greater the resolution

Poor resolution results to inaccurate quantitation and the sensitivity of the measure is also affected

Gives an alphabetical list of stored programs with corresponding program numbers where all the corresponding data (wavelength, factors, and constants) are present

-Measurements can be stored, recalled, deleted, copy or sent, and printed

-

Measured absorbances can also be converted into concentration values

-Records the absorbance or % transmittance at a wavelength over a defined time

A special barcode reader reads the unique barcode on the cuvette with the use of barcode identifier These barcode sets the correct wavelength for the analysis and calculates the result with the help of stored factor

The barcode also detect the reagent lot number and expiration date
