Biochrom Libra Spectrophotometers and Colorimeters
Biochrom Libra S11 Visible Spectrophotometer

Features
- Single Beam Visible spectrophotometer covering 325-999nm (5nm bandwidth)
- Lamp saver mode
- Customisable user interface
- Automatic system calibration
- Wide range of sample handling accessories
Description
The instrument has absorbance,
transmittance, absorbance ratio and factor concentration modes, as
well as absorbance against time and scanning capabilities. The
benefits of enhanced software functionality, including standard
curve mode, reaction rate slope calculation, multi-wavelength
equation definition and storage of user defined methods, will be
useful in the QC laboratory. Graphics are displayed and can be
printed out for the scan, kinetics and standard curve routines.
The instrument start-up menu may be customised by the laboratory manager in order to meet the applications requirements of the laboratory. As measurement needs change, the menu can be altered accordingly. The compact design saves precious bench space.
Connectivity
All results can be downloaded
directly to Excel if required using the optional spreadsheet
interface. Alternatively it may be linked to a chart recorder or
used with a parallel output printer. The instruments can be
under full PC control when used with Acquire Lite PC-based software to expand the
capability of the instrument including modules for wavelength
scanning, kinetics and quantification.
