Description
The Ocean ST Microspectrometer is an ultra-compact (42 × 40 × 26 mm), high-SNR (up to 2250:1) UV-Vis-NIR instrument covering 185–1085 nm. With USB-C connectivity, superior thermal stability, and the OceanDirect SDK, it’s ideal for DNA absorbance, LED characterization, and OEM integration.
Thismicrospectrometer is a compact yet powerful solution for those seeking exceptional spectral performance in a small package. Despite its ultra-compact footprint, the Ocean ST delivers full spectral analysis with a performance level comparable to larger and more expensive spectrometers. This makes it an ideal choice for everyday laboratory use as well as integration into devices and setups where space is at a premium.
Designed for versatility, the Ocean ST offers options for UV, visible, and shortwave NIR wavelength coverage, providing great flexibility for a wide range of applications. Its replaceable slit design allows users to optimize optical resolution and throughput, catering to both light-rich and low-light applications. This adaptability ensures that users can achieve the best possible results for their specific needs.
Compatibility with Ocean Optics light sources, accessories, and OceanView software further enhances the utility of the Ocean ST microspectrometer. Its rugged design, thermal stability, and unit-to-unit reproducibility make it an attractive option for embedding into other instrumentation, as well as for use in inline process operations and at-line quality control stations.
Each Ocean ST microspectrometer comes with OceanDirect, a comprehensive Software Developers Kit (SDK) that includes an Application Programming Interface (API). This powerful tool allows users to optimize spectrometer performance and access critical data for analysis, adding significant value to the overall package.
