1.1
Intended use of the SPECORD
The SPECORD
®
is a powerful, computer-controlled double-beam spectrophotometer for
the measurement of the transmission, absorbance, reflection as well as the energy of
liquid and solid samples. It is designed for measurements in the spectral range 190 –
1100 nm.
The double-beam spectrophotometers of the SPECORD
®
family provide different
spectral resolutions:
SPECORD
®
200
1; 2 and 4 nm
SPECORD
®
205
1.4 nm
SPECORD
®
210
0.5, 1, 2 and 4 nm
SPECORD
®
250
0.5; 1; 2 and 4 nm, with premonochromator
The optical system without electromechanical modulator ensures true real-time
operation, so that even variations in the absorbance of references can be compensated
during the measurement.
The internal wavelength calibration with a holmium oxide filter provides a high
wavelength accuracy and reproducibility.
The SPECORD
®
complies with the regulations of the DAB (German Pharmacopoeia)
and international regulations, such as PhEur., BP, USP or JPXIII.
In combination with the powerful WinASPECT
®
software, the SPECORD
®
is particularly
suitable for the use in routine laboratories with a high sample throughput, but also
provides solutions for special applications, if used in combination with the diverse
accessories available.
