Opening the way to the future, the UH5700, the spectroscopy specialist, handles the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions and strongly supports you.
Handling the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infraredregions (190 to 3,300 nm), the UH5700 achieves both high measurement precision and high throughput
Use of a continuously variable slit
The UH5700 employs a continuously variable slit in the near-infrared region, in which the slit automatically widens when measuring low quantities of light and narrows when measuring large quantities of light, and thereby achieves low-noise measurements across a broad range of measurement wavelengths from 190 to 3,300 nm.
Low stray light
The UH5700 achieves best-in-class levels of low stray light and high photometric range through use of a Czerny-Turner mounted single-monochromator bright spectrometer and a newly developed grating using photolithography technology. *1

Measurement throughput improvements
By employing a gear-drive system for the wavelength drive, high scanning speeds compared to conventional instruments are achieved of approximately 0.3 to 5,000 nm/min in the ultraviolet-visible region. *2 When measuring at a 1 nm interval, a measurement made at 1,000 nm/min in the 190 to 3,300 range can be completed in approximately 4 minutes.
*2U-3900 : 1.5 to 2,400 nm/min, U-2900 : 10 to 3,600 nm/min.
Control of detector switching level difference
Generally, UV-visible/near-infrared spectrophotometers use different detectors in the UV-visible region and the near-infrared region. Because different detectors are used, a difference in photometric values may arise in switching between detectors. Through know-how developed from the fundamentals, signal processing technology, and other techniques, the UH5700 holds the level difference when switching detectors to a minimum.
Common utilization of accessories
The sample compartment shares a common design with the U-2900/U-3900 spectrophotometers, so you can use the accessories you already have.*3 We offer an extensive line-up of accessory types tailored to measurement objectives.

For measurement of liquids
Micro cell option
Micro cells are used in combination with a mask (200- 1537). A micro cell is suitable for small samples with volumes of 340 to 600 µL.
Ultra-micro volume sample measurement option
Trace sample cells are used in combination with a mask (3J1-0116) (2 included). These are suitable for ultra-micro volume with volumes of 1.5 to 90 µL.
Rectangular long-path cell holder (P/N 210-2107)
This holder is used when using rectangular long-path cells. Low-concentration samples can be measured with a high degree of sensitivity.
Reference-side attenuation filter holder (P/N 2J3-0120)
This is used when you wish to expand the photometric range of the near-infrared region. To perform a measurement where you want to expand the photometric range in the near-infrared region, a NENIR210B near- infrared absorbing ND filter made by Thorlabs, Inc. described in the table below is needed in addition to a reference-side attenuation filter holder (2J3-0120).
Water-circulating cell holder (P/N 210-2111)
Water from a thermostatic circulating water bath is circulated in the cell holder, and the cell section is kept at a constant temperature. (Temperature control: both R and S)
Thermostatic cell holder with stirrer (P/N 2J3-0161)
A magnetic stirrer agitates the sample solution to limit the effect of temperature variation.
Programmable thermostatic cell holder (P/N 131-0301, 131-0302)
In protein and nucleic acid melting measurements, the sample temperature can be changed continuously to determine the variation in absorbance. Because it is heated and cooled electronically, this cell holder is capable of rapid heating and cooling. The sample temperature can be increased and decreased isothermally, and because this holder is equipped with a stirrer, there is no temperature variation within the cell. (temperature control: both R and S)
Auto sipper (P/N 2J3-0131)
By pressing the front sipping lever, a sample can be drawn in from the suction nozzle and tested. The auto sipper is suitable for multiple sample measurements. By connecting it to an autosampler, analyses can be performed automatically, achieving labor savings.
Electronic thermostatted auto sipper (P/N 2J3-0141)
This auto sipper can maintain the flow cell at a constant temperature.
AS-1010 Auto Sampler (P/N 2J1-0121, 2J1-0122)
In combination with an auto sipper, this unit can make multiple automatic measurements of solution samples. A suction needle can be moved in three (XYZ) directions.
For measurement of solids
Φ60 Integrating Sphere (P/N 2J3-0176)
This is used for absorbance measurements of turbid samples and reflectance measurements of solid sample surfaces.
5° Specular Reflectance Accessory (relative)(P/N 2J3-0151)
This accessory uses the mirror reflection of a sample to measure relative reflectance with respect to a standard reflection plate (aluminum-evaporated plane mirror). This is used for film thickness measurement, spectral reflectance measurement, and other such applications.
Glass filter holder (P/N 210-2109)
This holder is used for measuring the transmittance and absorbance of solid plate samples such as glass filters.
Film holder (P/N 210-2112)
This holder is used for measuring the transmittance and absorbance of film-like samples.
Polarizer holder (P/N 210-2130)
The sample beam is linearly polarized, and the polarization properties are measured. This can be used in combination with an analyzer.

This holder set is used when carrying out wavelength calibration or verification of wavelength accuracy using a mercury lamp. The set includes a holder to install the mercury lamp in the device and a purpose-built light source chamber cover. In addition to this product, to carry out measurements using the mercury lamp, a pen-type low-pressure mercury lamp 81-1057-98 made by BHK, Inc. and a BHK purpose-built power source 90-0005-01 are required.
Optional software
Option Package Program (P/N 2J3-0191)
The UV Solutions Plus optional software is for performing calculations based on a wide variety of JIS Standard tests and various optical characteristics.
By installing this program, calculations such as color calculations, direct light/solar calculations (glass), and solar reflectance paint calculations can be performed.
