The Macylab UV-1200 is an automatic ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer operating in the 190nm to 1100nm wavelength range with a 2nm spectral bandwidth. Controlled by a single-chip microcomputer, it features a 128×64 dots LCD screen capable of displaying multiple sets of data and standard curves directly on the interface.
Equipped with an automatic wavelength adjustment system and automatic filter changing, the UV-1200 supports a comprehensive range of analytical applications, from routine quantitative testing to specific DNA/protein analysis. It is designed to provide academic institutions and industrial laboratories with a reliable, standalone measurement platform.
Key Features
Automated Optical Adjustments: Features automatic wavelength adjustment, automatic filter changing, and an auto-zero (100% adjustment) function to streamline testing procedures and reduce manual operational errors.
Digital Data Display & Storage: Equipped with a 128×64 dots LCD screen. The large internal memory space stores multiple sets of data and standard curves, and it features a power-off save function to retain curve parameters.
Comprehensive Testing Capabilities: The built-in software supports full-band or segmented wavelength scanning (190-1100nm), kinetic tests for timely detection of absorbance changes, multi-wavelength testing, and specific DNA/protein purity analysis.
Quantitative Measurement Modes: Establish standard curves by testing up to ten standard samples. Users can also establish curves for quantitative measurement by directly inputting K and B factors or standard concentration values.
Data Export & PC Control: Includes a general parallel printer interface to print measurement data, curve parameters, and standard sample points. A built-in USB interface allows for optional PC control to achieve more flexible data processing.

Packaging, Installation & Operation
Packaging & Shipping
After unpacking the instrument, compare the contents with the packing list and check that all items are present and undamaged.
Installation & Setup
Place the spectrophotometer in a suitable location away from direct sunlight, dust, corrosive gases, and strong vibrations. For stable operation, keep it away from strong magnetic or electrical fields and electrical devices that may generate high-frequency fields.
Keep the area around and underneath the instrument clear to allow adequate airflow.
Use the appropriate power cord and connect the instrument to a grounded outlet.
Initial Operation
Turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to warm up for the recommended time before taking measurements. Follow the instrument’s operating instructions to complete any required system initialization, calibration, or wavelength verification before measurement.
