SpectraPen SP 100

SpectraPen SP 100 is a handheld spectrometer that's ideal as a general-purpose instrument for research labs. The SpectraPen works with Li-Ion rechargeable battery and does not require any PC or any other bulky accessory. Instead, wavelength and intensity readings and their spectral lines are instantly displayed on the SpectraPen touch screen display.

SpectraPen SP 100 is available in two models:
- SpectraPen SP 100-UVIS with wavelength range 340 to 780 nm
- SpectraPen SP 100-NIR with wavelength range 640 to 1050 nm.
