Spectro Pro

Logger Pro 3 is recommended for spectroscopy with Vernier/Ocean Optics spectrometers.

Spectro Pro allows you to collect and analyze data from several different spectrophotometers. The SPECTRONIC 20D or D+, GENESYS 20, or Flinn Spectrophotometer can connect directly to a PC or Macintosh serial port using the appropriate cable. Analog spectrophotometers, such as a SPECTRONIC 20, can be connected to the computer through a computer interface — a Vernier LabPro, a ULI, or a Serial Box Interface.

Spectro Pro features easy calibration and allows you to create calculated spreadsheet columns, perform curve fits on data, and do statistical analysis of data.


With the spectrophotometer connected to your computer you can:

 
  • Collect Absorbance vs. Time data to do kinetics studies.
  • Collect Absorbance vs. Concentration data to produce a Beer's law graph.
  • Determine the concentration of an unknown by interpolation of an Absorbance vs. Concentration graph.
  • Collect Absorbance vs. Wavelength data to produce an absorption spectrum.
  • Conveniently choose one of three modes of data collection from buttons on the toolbar.
  • View data graphed in real time.
  • Easily calibrate the spectrophotometer by following on-screen prompts.
  • Use ready-to-go experiment files.
  • Create calculated spreadsheet columns
  • Perform curve fits on data
  • Do statistical analysis of data.
