Description
The Biochrom WPA S1200
Spectrawave visible diode array spectrophotometer has been designed
to meet the routine spectroscopy needs of customers requiring a
small, light weight instrument that is easy to use. The Biochrom
WPA S1200T has a factory fitted electrically heated cell holder for
thermostatted measurements at 37 °C.
Although compact, it offers powerful on board data capture and analysis software without the requirement to connect to a PC. Absorbance, % Transmission, Absorbance Ratio and Concentration. The large backlit graphical display enables wavelength scans, kinetic assays (including slope calculation) and standard curves to be viewed.
The S1200 accepts standard 10mm pathlength glass or plastic cuvettes; a test tube adapter set is available, and this enables COD measurements to be made using standard 16mm diameter test tubes.
Low maintainance
This instrument is designed to make life easier for technical
staff, and to be low maintainance under demanding conditions. With
no lid or moving parts, this robust instrument is easy to use,
clean and store. This monochromator spectrophotometer has no
filters to be changed or lost. The cell holder can be completely
removed for easy cleaning. Lamp life is extended as it is only on
during the measurement cycle. Spare lamps are available and easy to
install.
Choice of print outputs
The instrument is
delivered with Grafico, a PC utility software package (and serial
lead), providing the user with the option to capture, print
and store data from the instrument onto a PC so that a results log
may be built up or data exported to Excel.
Alternatively graphics may be printed to either the S1000P or the optional industry standard Seiko DPU-414 printer for a permanent record or kinetics data may be output to chart recorder.
A Powerful Tool for Science
Education
Biochrom has helped to educate scientists
in spectrophotometry for over 30 years. Our Biochrom WPA brand of
spectrophotometers and colorimeters are used by schools, colleges
and universities worldwide to educate the next generation of
scientists.
The instrument includes a starter pack of disposable plastic cuvettes and Grafico PC utility software package (with serial lead) that includes an educational tutorial on UV/Visible spectrophotometry.
