[Hitachi Descriptions](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/en/pages/spectrophotometry-fundamentals#hitachi-descriptions) July 9, 2022 # Hitachi UH5300 ## The Hitachi UH5300 is a UV-Vis spectrophotometer ideal for analytical chemistry, life science research and application.  The Hitachi UH5300 is a high-performance UV-Vis spectrophotometer, which is ideal for use in several fields, including analytical chemistry and life science research.  ![PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300.jpg?width=459&name=PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300.jpg) Features of the Hitachi UH5300 include: **Xenon lamp and double beam system** - The Hitachi UH5300 spectrophotometer uses a long-life xenon flash lamp and a double-beam optical system. **Operation by remote control ** - Operation of the Hitachi UH5300 is possible by use of tablet terminals or remote control through wireless communication.  **Intuitive control software** - The control software of the Hitachi UH5300 spectrophotometer ensures simple and intuitive operability.    ### Hitachi UH5300 with xenon lamp and double beam system  Hitachi UH5300 uses a long-life xenon flash lamp, which results in lower operation cost. In addition, Hitachi UH5300 features a double-beam optical system, which ensures extended periods of data stability compared with the single-beam optical system. The Hitachi UH5300 achieves best-of-class levels of resolution. The level of performance of the instrument allows for highly accurate data to be obtained.    ![PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_stability](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_stability.jpg?width=479&name=PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_stability.jpg) ### Hitachi UH5300 with remote control  Hitachi UH5300 also offers a new type of operation in laboratories. Operation is possible by use of tablet terminals or PC. In addition, remote control through wireless communication is also possible with the Hitachi UH5300 spectrophotometer.  ### ![PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_operation](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_operation.jpg?width=450&name=PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_operation.jpg) ### Hitachi UH5300 with intuitive control software The control software of the Hitachi UH5300 spectrophotometer ensures simple and intuitive operability, which provides an easy-to-follow measurement flow, even for users who aren't familiar with a spectrophotometer.   ### ![PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_software](https://knowledge.cphnano.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_software.jpg?width=688&name=PHOT_20220709_Spectrophotometers_Hitachi_UH5300_software.jpg)   ### Hitachi UH5300 compared to other instruments Even though the Hitachi UH5300 UV-Vis maintains some features of older Hitachi instruments, it is still a major upgrade from previous models. The Hitachi UH5300 UV-Vis features a better wavelength accuracy than the Hitachi U-2100 UV-Vis.  The Hitachi UH5300 UV-Vis is not only an upgrade from previous Hitachi instruments, as it also beats its competitors on several parameters. The Hitachi UH5300 UV-Vis features a better wavelength accuracy than both Analytik Jena Spekol 2000 UV-Vis and Amersham Ultrospec 1100 Pro UV-Vis.    Features of the Hitachi UH5300 compared to other instruments include: **Hitachi UH5300 versus Analytik Jena Spekol 2000 UV-Vis** - The Hitachi UH5300 features a better wavelength accuracy than Analytik Jena Spekol 2000 UV-Vis.  **Hitachi UH5300 versus Amersham Ultrospec 1100 Pro UV-Vis** - The Hitachi UH5300 features a better wavelength accuracy than Amersham Ultrospec 1100 Pro UV-Vis.   This information is meant for guidance only.
