A multi-channel type spectro-photometer not only has a light source, a sample cell to which light from the light source is directed, a spectrometer to which light transmitting through the sample cell is directed, and an array of photo-diodes to which dispersed light from the spectrometer is directed, but also allows the user to specify a range of wavelength within which measurements are to be taken. An optimum charge-accumulating time during which charge is to be accumulated on the photo-diodes array is automatically set according to the range specified by the user. Alternatively, quantity of light received by the photo-diode array may be detected and an optimum charge-accumulating time may be automatically set according to the measured light intensity on the photo-diode array. Dark current and background measurements are taken before a sample is injected into the sample cell and transmitted light therethrough is measured to obtain the absorption spectrum of the sample.
