Microptix has launched a range of sample adaptors for the I-Lab hand-held analysing spectrometer.
Along with the conventional cuvette and round vials for liquid measurements, the adaptors allow the I-Lab to conduct surface-colour measurements on solids.
The I-Lab spectrometer enables users to conduct rapid testing of solid surfaces and liquids in the process plant and laboratory, and/or in the field.
It performs real-time measurement and analysis of liquids and solids in the visible light range from 400-700nm.
The product utilises the company's integrated sensing system that enables spectrometer quality measurements in a hand-held, compact package.
The I-Lab uses LEDs as a light source and is powered by three AA batteries.
The I-Lab Surface Reader (V255) Adaptor allows for solid-surface (reflectance) measurements for solid samples that are 6mm round and larger.
The I-Lab Surface Reader Adaptor can be used to measure solid colours using the CIE Lab colour scale.
The I-Lab Cuvette Adaptor (V220) allows the I-Lab to work with 10mm-square cuvettes.
Its optical design effectively doubles the path length for liquid measurements, which increases the I-Lab sensitivity.
The I-Lab 25mm Round Vial Adaptor (V250) allows users to work with 25mm round glass vials and features a double-pass design that doubles the path length.
The I-Lab package also includes Spectrum Software that gives users the ability to create customised measurement methods for specific applications.
