The Macylab V-1300 is a microprocessor-controlled visible spectrophotometer designed for quantitative analysis in the visible and near-infrared spectral range of 320nm to 1100nm. Powered by an imported Tungsten lamp and a silicon photodiode detector, it provides a standard 4nm spectral bandwidth suitable for a wide variety of routine photometric testing.
Equipped with an automatic wavelength adjustment mechanism and a 128×64 dots LCD screen, the V-1300 allows operators to establish standard curves and perform quantitative measurements directly on the device. It functions efficiently as a standalone unit or can be connected to a PC via USB to support expanded analytical requirements in laboratory environments.
Key Features
Automated Optical Adjustments: Features automatic wavelength setting, auto filter changing, and auto zero/100% adjustment functions, eliminating the need for manual mechanical dial tuning.
Built-in Quantitative Functions: Establish standard curves using up to 10 standard samples directly on the LCD screen, or manually input K and B factors for rapid quantitative measurements.
Clear LCD Display: The 128×64 dots LCD screen can simultaneously display multiple sets of measurement data, curve parameters, standard sample points, and the generated standard curve.
Reliable Data Management: Includes a power-off save function to retain standard curve parameters and measurement data. It is equipped with a USB interface for PC connectivity and a parallel port for direct printing.
Accommodating Sample Pool: The large sample compartment fits cuvettes with path lengths ranging from 5mm up to 100mm, accommodating low-concentration solutions that require longer pathlengths.

Applications
The V-1300 is optimized for standard visible-spectrum analysis:
Water & Environmental Analysis: Colorimetric determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, heavy metal ions, and other water quality indicators.
Agriculture & Soil Testing: Measuring extractable nutrients and organic matter in soil, fertilizers, and agricultural products.
Food & Beverage Quality Control: Quantitative monitoring of food dyes, additives, and visual color intensity in manufacturing processes.
General Academic Research: Performing routine kinetics testing and concentration measurements in university chemistry and biology laboratories.
Who is it for?
Academic and Educational Institutions: University laboratories requiring a reliable automatic visible spectrophotometer with curve-display capabilities for student projects and routine research.
Industrial QC Departments: Quality control labs in food, chemical, and water treatment plants needing repeatable photometric data and on-device standard curve generation.
Small to Medium Testing Facilities: Laboratories seeking to upgrade from manual wavelength instruments to automated systems to improve operational efficiency.
Why choose it?
Automation Advantage: The combination of automatic wavelength tuning and automatic filter changing removes the physical inconsistencies associated with turning manual mechanical dials, improving measurement repeatability.
Standalone Operation: The system can be used entirely independently utilizing the LCD screen to build standard curves, without the mandatory requirement of a connected computer in the lab space.
PC Control Ready: When connected to a Windows PC via USB, the instrument supports expanded measurement requirements through the standard software, including continuous wavelength scanning (within 320-1100nm), multi-wavelength testing, and kinetics analysis.

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.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
No. Standard nucleic acid and protein analysis requires ultraviolet (UV) light at 260nm and 280nm. The V-1300 is equipped with a tungsten lamp and operates in the visible spectrum from 320nm to 1100nm, meaning it physically cannot measure UV wavelengths.
No. The V-1300 functions as an independent unit. Operators can input up to 10 standard samples or manually enter the K and B factors directly through the keypad, and the standard curve is generated and displayed on the 128×64 LCD screen.
When connected to a PC via the USB interface, the software allows for wavelength scanning (within the 320-1100nm visible range), kinetic testing (monitoring absorbance changes over time), quantitative measurements, and simultaneous multi-wavelength testing.
No. The V-1300 features a fully automatic wavelength adjustment mechanism and an automatic filter changing system.
Yes, the instrument includes a general-purpose parallel printer port. You can print the title bar, measurement data, curve parameters, standard sample points, and the generated curve directly to a compatible local printer without using a PC.
