Biochrom has added double-beam and variable bandwidth UV-Vis spectrophotometers for academic, research and industry applications to its Biochrom Libra range.
The Libra instruments feature an application-led design with colour touch-screens and USB data port.
The range includes: the Libra S50, a robust, split-beam instrument; the Libra S60, a multi-user double-beam spectrophotometer; the Biochrom S70, a 1nm bandwidth double-beam system for routine pharmaceutical applications; and the Libra S80, a variable bandwidth double-beam instrument that meets the regulatory and budget-conscious demands of tightly controlled laboratory.
Biochrom Libra includes application-based software for all standalone and PC-controlled instruments.
Standalone instruments feature a suite of standard applications including single wavelength, wavelength scanning, standard curves, kinetics, and life-science protocols.
Data can be stored on the instrument or USB drive and manipulated post-run using the Trace Manager function.
The company's Equation Editor allows users to program specific methods that include calculations based on measured data.
Resolution - a modular PC package - provides flexibility in control and data handling.
'Quick Read' and 'Quick Scan' options make routine operation fast and straightforward while a Method Developer allows complex scanning, kinetic and quantitative protocols to be created and run.
System qualification, pharmacopeia requirements and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance are all supported.
Biochrom Libra hardware includes a large colour touch-screen, USB connection, optional integrated Bluetooth for data transfer and an optional built-in printer.
A range of optional accessories completes the application-specific flexibility of this range.
A web-based navigation tool is available to help guide purchasers towards the optimum system for their specific needs.
