The Aviv 60DS circular dichroism spectrophotometer provides information on the rotation of polarized light of optically active compounds. The instrument can be scanned over a range of 175-800 nm in steps as small as 0.01 nm.
Computer control allows spectral averaging as well as data manipulation.
This instrument can be used to identify optically active species and assess the secondary structure of proteins, as well as carry out kinetic studies of optically active species.
