UV Open Colorimeter
UV Open Colorimeter
The UV Open Colorimeter is a single-wavelength photometer for measuring UV light absorbance through samples in a standard 10mm pathlength cuvette. Applications include protein quantification with a UV LED.
The device uses our AS7311 UV sensor board and a PyBadge pre-programmed with open source CircuitPython firmware. The cuvette holder and enclosure are made from 3D-printed black plastic. Links to the hardware designs and open source firmware and libraries are in the Product Guide.
The UV Open Colorimeter ships pre-programmed & ready-to-use. No assembly, soldering or programming is required. It can be powered by USB or a 3.7V lithium ion battery. Battery is not included. See the Product Guide for battery recommendations.
