Flexibility to create new methods for additional reagents or samples – create new methods
using calibration standards or update methods using published wavelengths and equations
•
Use a variety of vial sizes with the included 3-position vial holder carousel and update the
vial position on the carousel with a key press – the sample changer keypad moves the
carousel to the desired location for easy vial switching
•
Performance verification tests ensure wavelength accuracy and instrument functionality,
plus built-in filters allow for wavelength verification with no additional equipment required
•
Additional functions include standard curve concentration measurements, wavelength
scanning, multiple fixed-wavelength measurements, absorbance ratio and difference
•
One year instrument warranty
The Orion AquaMate 8000 UV-Vis spectrophotometer measures in the 190 nm to 1100 nm
wavelength range using a Xenon Flash lamp that requires no warm-up time and has a five-year
average lifespan.
The Orion AquaMate 7000 Vis spectrophotometer measures in the 325 to 1100 nm wavelength
range using a Tungsten lamp, designed for easy replacement using the factory pre-aligned
lamp and base.
