Pen-Ray Mercury UV Lamps for Laboratory and Industrial Applications
Pen-Ray Mercury Lamps are low-pressure cold cathode mercury UV lamps manufactured from double-walled quartz tubes. Each lamp is individually crafted to ensure high reliability, precise spectral line accuracy, and a long service life of over 3000 hours.
Their compact design and single-sided electrode configuration enable flexible integration into laboratory, industrial, medical, and forensic environments.
- Low-pressure cold cathode mercury UV lamps
- Double-walled quartz construction
- High spectral line accuracy
- Service life exceeding 3000 hours
- Available in multiple peak wavelengths
- Compact design with single-sided electrode configuration
Further information
Pen-Ray UV light sources provide defined spectral emission lines for analytical, research, and industrial applications. Available peak wavelengths include:
254 nm (Shortwave UV)
302 nm (Midrange UV)
