Spectrum, Photometric (quantitation), and Kinetics (time course)
• Multitasking (possible to execute data processing while
measurement is being performed)
• Customizable measurement screen layout (wavelengths, data
display font and font size, colors, displayed number of digits)
• GLP/GMP compliant (security, history)
• Real-time concentration display
• Comparison/interactive processing of multiple spectra
(Note 2)
• Storage of all processed data with original data set including
a history of all manipulations
• Spectrum enlargement/shrinking and auto scale
• Automatic interlink with spectral data processing
• Annotation on spectrum screen
• Normalization, Point Pick, peak/valley detection, area calculation
• 1st – 4th derivatives, smoothing, reciprocal, square root, natural log,
Abs, %T conversion, exponential conversion, and Kubelka-Munk
conversion
• Ensemble averaging, interpolation, four arithmetic operations
(between spectra, between spectra and factors)
• Single wavelength, multi-wavelength (includes 1, 2, or 3
wavelengths), spectrum quantitation (peak, maximum, minimum,
area, etc. for specied wavelength ranges)
• K-factor, single-point, multi-point calibration curves (1st, 2nd, 3rd
order function tting, pass-through-zero specication)
• Photometric processing with user-dened functions (+, − , × , ÷ ,
Log, Exp, etc. functions, including factors)
• Weight correction, dilution factor correction, and other corrections
using factors
• Averaging of repeat measurement data
• Simultaneous display of standard sample table, unknown sample
table, and calibration curves
• Display of Pass/Fail indications

Generator
• Comparison/interactive processing of multiple time-course data
(Note 2)
• Single- or double-wavelength measurement (difference or ratio)
• Simultaneous display of time-course data, enzyme table, and graphs
• Enzyme kinetics calculation (for single- or multi-cell)
• Michaelis-Menten calculations and graph creation (Michaelis-Menten,
Lineweaver-Burk, Hanes, Woolf, Eadie-Hofstee), Dixon plot, Hill plot
• Integrated management of sample information including original
data, sample weight, and dilution factors, etc.
• Event recording such as addition of reagents during measurement
• Time-course spectrum data processing (same as in spectrum data
processing)
1) The PC, CRT, and printer are not included as standard.
2) Depends on the specications (including memory capacity) of the PC used.
As a guideline, 20 to 30 sets of spectral data can be handled simultaneously.
General requirements for UVProbe to operate are indicated below.
• 1 GB min. of empty hard disk space
• XGA or better video adapter and monitor, with a recommended resolution of at
least 1024 × 768 pixels
• USB port
• Graphics printer
• Mouse or similar pointing device
• CD-ROM drive
Even with the above conguration, UVProbe operating performance cannot be
guaranteed, depending on Windows settings, hardware state, etc.
Use Shimadzu recommended equipment, if possible.
• Preview and print functions for customized formats
• Layout and editing of templates
• Quick printing using report templates
• Auto-printing (spectrum mode)
• Multi-page printout
• Insertion of date, time, text, and drawing objects including lines,
circles and rectangles
• Insertion of spectral/quantitative data, method, and history
• Insertion of headers and footers
• Specication of graph line thickness (for each module), font style,
and size
• Initialization results log
• Wavelength accuracy
• Wavelength repeatability
• Photometric accuracy
• Photometric repeatability
• Resolution
• Stray light
• Baseline atness
• Noise level
• Drift (baseline stability)
Inspection
Items
• Select the items to implement during inspection to conrm the
approximate time required for full inspection.
• The system is capable of both wavelength repeatability checks
and wavelength accuracy checks using a wavelength calibration
lter. If the optional mercury lamp unit is used, wavelength
accuracy can be inspected using the low-pressure mercury lamp's
bright line.
• The software is capable of resolution inspections using methods
dened in the EP (European Pharmacopoeia) and USP (United
States Pharmacopoeia) as well as the method for checking the
bright line spectral bandwidth.
