Zinc Lamp Light Sources

Zinc lamps are specifically designed for use with UV absorption cells and high-precision detectors, providing a stable and reliable spectral emission.

Thanks to the optimized proximity of internal components and high operating temperatures, their advanced configuration—featuring a body suspended within a vacuum envelope - ensures excellent thermal insulation from the external environment. This design minimizes temperature fluctuations, guaranteeing consistent performance, reduced background noise, and exceptional optical signal stability.

Zinc lamps serve as a highly effective alternative to deuterium lamps, offering superior thermal stability, extended operational lifespan, and targeted spectral emission, with a well-defined energy peak at 214 nm. These qualities make them particularly well-suited for applications in advanced spectroscopy, environmental analysis, and high-precision scientific instrumentation.
