Biochrom WPA range of Colorimeters & Spectrophotometers
Biochrom WPA S800 Visible Spectrophotometer

Features
- 7nm Single beam diode array visible spectrophotometer covering 330-800nm
- Compact, easy to use, service, clean and store
- Absorbance, % Transmission, Concentration and kinetics
- Educational experiments and tutorial included
- Grafico PC utility software and cable included
Designed for science education
The
Biochrom WPA S800 visible spectrophotometer is compact, lightweight
and ergonomically designed. It is ideal for student use in
busy teaching laboratories with a large display that is easy to
read and the instrument is simple to set up and use giving rapid
results. Accepts standard 10mm pathlength cuvettes or a test tube
adaptor set is available for use with 10, 12 and 16 mm tubes.
Measures Absorbance, % Transmission and Concentration as well as
being able to output absorbance-time plots directly to chart
recorder. The user manual includes simple experiments for the
determination of λ max, extinction coefficient and natural
bandwidth as well as the construction of a standard curve and the
measurement of stray light.
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.
A complete spectrophotometry education
package
The instrument includes a starter pack of
disposable plastic cuvettes and Grafico PC utility software package
(with serial lead) providing students with the means to capture,
print and interpret all results, including a basic wavelength scan,
on a PC. Data may be easily exported from Grafico into Excel, plus
the Grafico software includes an educational tutorial on UV/Visible
spectrophotometry.
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.
