Electrodeless spectrum tubes for continuous classroom use
Make atomic spectra easy, safe, and truly student-ready. The NexGen Spectrum Tube Classroom Bundle pairs Arbor Scientific’s NexGen electrodeless power supply with eight spectrum tubes encased in durable polymer shells, so students can view bright emission lines without exposed electrodes or high-voltage handling. Switching gases is as simple as sliding one tube out and the next in—fast enough for whole-class comparisons or rotating lab stations.
Unlike conventional spectrum tubes that require strict “30 seconds on / 30 seconds off” cycles to avoid damage, these electrodeless tubes can run continuously. That means students can take their time observing and measuring spectral lines, leading to better data and fewer interruptions during spectroscopy labs.
Why Teachers Love NexGen Spectrum Tube Classroom Bundle
- Major safety upgrade: Polymer-enclosed, electrodeless tubes reduce shock risk and protect fragile glass, while the power supply is purpose-built for classroom use.
- No timed duty cycle: Continuous-run tubes eliminate the on/off babysitting required by traditional systems, improving tube life and lab flow.
- Quick gas-to-gas comparisons: Slide-in/slide-out design makes it effortless to compare spectra across multiple elements in minutes.
- All-in-one classroom bundle: Everything needed for a full spectroscopy unit—no extra holders or supplies to track down.
Note: Spectrum tubes that have not been energized for an extended period of time may not strike right away. It is normal for the tube to take up to 3 minutes to strike for the first time. Make sure to turn the power switch off before removing or exchanging tubes.

What You Can Teach with the NexGen Spectrum Tube Bundle
Great for high school through introductory college physics, chemistry, astronomy, and forensics:
- Atomic emission spectra & element identification: Observe unique line “fingerprints” for different gases.
- Electron energy levels & quantization: Connect discrete spectral lines to transitions between energy levels.
- Bohr model and modern atomic theory: Use real spectra to motivate and test atomic models.
Spectroscopy applications: Relate lab spectra to star/nebula composition, gas discharge lighting, and forensic analysis.
How It Works
- Insert a tube. Slide one polymer-enclosed NexGen tube into the energizing slot on the power supply.
- Energize electrodelessly. The supply excites the gas via an internal electromagnetic field (no electrodes), causing atoms to emit light at characteristic wavelengths.
- Observe the spectrum. View the emitted light through any spectroscope/spectrometer to see the gas’s distinct line pattern.
- Swap gases instantly. Slide the tube out, slide the next one in, and repeat for rapid side-by-side comparisons.
