Spectrophotometers in Kenya
Available Spectrophotometers Models

A spectrophotometer is a sophisticated analytical instrument used to measure the amount of light absorbed or transmitted by a sample at specific wavelengths. Essentially, it quantifies how a substance interacts with light across the electromagnetic spectrum. By analyzing the unique light absorption or transmission patterns, often referred to as a spectrum, these devices can identify and quantify unknown compounds. This principle makes them indispensable tools in various scientific and medical disciplines, providing precise and objective measurements.

In a clinical setting, spectrophotometers play a crucial role in diagnostics and patient monitoring. They are employed to determine the concentration of various substances in biological fluids such as blood, urine, and serum. This is achieved by measuring the absorbance of light at specific wavelengths, which directly correlates to the concentration of the target analyte. The accuracy and sensitivity of spectrophotometers enable healthcare professionals to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment efficacy, and disease progression.

Spectrophotometers are versatile instruments essential for quantitative and qualitative analysis across a broad spectrum of medical applications. In Kenya, these devices are indispensable for various healthcare facilities, from large referral hospitals to smaller diagnostic labs and research institutions. Their ability to measure light absorption and transmission at specific wavelengths makes them crucial for determining the concentration of various substances in biological samples.

• User Training: Provide comprehensive hands-on training for your laboratory personnel on the operation, basic maintenance, and troubleshooting of the spectrophotometer.

Calibration Requirements:

To guarantee the accuracy and reliability of your measurements from day one, a thorough calibration is performed as part of the installation process. This includes:

• Instrument Performance Verification: Utilizing certified reference materials to verify the spectrophotometer's absorbance, wavelength accuracy, and stray light performance against manufacturer specifications.

• Factory Calibration Standards: Employing traceable calibration standards to set the instrument's baseline and ensure consistent, reproducible results.

• Documentation: Providing you with a detailed calibration certificate, confirming that your spectrophotometer has been installed and calibrated to the highest standards.

We are committed to ensuring your spectrophotometer is operational and delivering precise analytical data, supporting your critical work in Kenya.

The cost of a spectrophotometer in Kenya can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of instrument, its specifications, brand reputation, and the supplier. For basic benchtop models used in routine laboratory testing, you can expect prices to start in the range of KES 300,000 to KES 800,000. These are generally suitable for common analytical tasks in clinical chemistry, quality control, and basic research.

For more advanced or specialized spectrophotometers, such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, or near-infrared (NIR) models, the investment can range from KES 1,000,000 to KES 5,000,000 and upwards. These higher-end instruments offer greater accuracy, wider spectral ranges, faster scan speeds, and advanced software features, making them ideal for demanding applications in pharmaceutical analysis, advanced material science, environmental monitoring, and complex biological research.

Additionally, factors like warranty, installation services, training, and ongoing technical support can influence the final price. It's always recommended to obtain detailed quotes from multiple reputable medical equipment suppliers in Kenya to compare offerings and find a solution that best fits your laboratory's specific needs and budget.
