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.
