Which of the following is not the advantage of diode array spectrophotometers ?

  • A.Simultaneous multi-wavelength measurement
  • B.Fast scan speed
  • C.Wavelength precision
  • D.Low signal to noise ratio

Answer: D

A low signal to noise ratio is not an advantage of diode array spectrophotometers.

A low signal-to-noise ratio is a disadvantage in any instrument, because it means the signal is hard to distinguish from noise. A diode array spectrophotometer in fact gives a good signal-to-noise ratio, because it can average many rapid spectra.

Its real advantages are the other three: it measures many wavelengths simultaneously across the whole spectrum, scans in a fraction of a second, and has high wavelength precision because there are no moving parts.
