M4 UV/Vis is highly accurate and reliable. Purchase in Europe includes NanoCuvette™ One. ### VWR M4 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer​ The VWR M4 UV/Vis spectrophotometer is an easy to use instrument with advanced performance. M4 UV/Vis is highly accurate and reliable, and comes in a simple, and elegant design with an aluminium base. In addition it is easy to change it's lamp, and the interface is very friendly. The VWR M4 spectrophotometer is used in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biochemical, metallurgy, light industry, material, textile, medical, environments, education and some other fields for quality control laboratories.   ![PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis.png?width=415&name=PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis.png) **Elegant design and touch screen** - The VWR M4 UV/Vis spectrophotometer comes in a simple, and elegant design. In addition, the VWR M4 UV/Vis spectrophotometer features a touch screen. The entire screen can be started with a touch.   **High accuracy and wide wavelength range** - The VWR M4 UV/Vis is very accurate, with a wavelength accuracy of 0.5 nm. In addition, the VWR M4 features a wide wavelength range (190-1100 nm) enabling the user to measure within both the UV- and Vis regions.   **Easy to use software** - The VWR Software Multi Wave Pro software enables the user to control the instrument easily. The following modes are included: Quantitative, kinetics, spectrum scan, multi-wavelength, DNA/protein, and energy scan.   ![PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Lid](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Lid.png?width=387&name=PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Lid.png)   VWR M4 UV-Vis with elegant design and touch screen The VWR M4 UV/Vis spectrophotometer comes in a simple, and elegant design. In addition, the VWR M4 UV/Vis spectrophotometer features a touch screen. The entire screen can be started with a touch. The user can use their fingertips, pencil, or stylus to press the screen. However, it is not recommended to press the screen with sharp objects. When using the touch screen, the user can select the desired application by pressing the icon that appears in the main interface, making the instrument easy to control.   ![PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Screen](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Screen.png?width=503&name=PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Screen.png)    VWR M4 with high accuracy and wide wavelength range The VWR M4 UV/Vis is very accurate. The VWR M4 UV/Vis features a wavelength accuracy of 0.5 nm, which is better than many instruments in its class. In addition, the VWR M4 features a wide wavelength range (190-1100 nm) enabling the user to measure within both the UV- and Vis regions.   ![PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Accuracy](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Accuracy.png?width=503&name=PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Accuracy.png)     VWR M4 with easy to use software​ The VWR Software Multi Wave Pro software enables the users to control the instrument easily. The following modes are included: Kinetics, quantitative, spectrum scan, multi-wavelength, DNA/protein, and energy scan. The application scope of the VWR M4 UV/Vis is therefore very broad.   ![PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Software](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Software.png?width=372&name=PHOT_20210702_Spectrophotometers_VWR_M4_UV_Vis_Software.png)     VWR M4 compared to other instruments Even though the VWR M4 UV/Vis maintains some features of older VWR instruments, it is still a major upgrade from previous models. The VWR M4 UV/Vis is more accurate than the VWR V-1200. The VWR M4 UV/Vis features a wavelength accuracy of 0.5 nm, which is better than the 2.0 nm wavelength accuracy of the VWR V-1200. The VWR M4 UV/Vis is not only a huge upgrade from previous VWR instruments, as it also beats its competitors on several parameters. The VWR M4 UV/Vis features a wider wavelength range than both Bio-Rad SmartSpec Plus UV-Vis and Jasco V-650 UV-Vis.    **VWR M4 UV-Vis versus Bio-Rad SmartSpec Plus UV-Vis** - The VWR M4 UV/Vis features a wider wavelength range than Bio-Rad SmartSpec Plus UV-Vis. **VWR M4 UV-Vis versus Persee T6U UV-Vis** - The VWR M4 UV/Vis features a wider wavelength range than Jasco V-650 UV-Vis.     VWR M4 with NanoCuvette™ One, SpectroLink™,  and SpectroWorks™ [The NanoCuvette™ One](https://cphnano.com/nanocuvette-one/) is a cuvette that can be used for measuring both refractive index and absorbance using a spectrophotometer. **Compatibility of VWR M4 with cphnano products:** - [Here you can see the compatibility](https://cphnano.com/uv-vis-database)       This information is meant for guidance only.
