The Spectronic 200 visible spectrophotometer from Thermo Fisher Scientific incorporates optical and detector technologies specific to the needs of academic and industrial quality control laboratories.
Designed for teaching and basic testing applications, the Thermo Scientific Spectronic 200 is said to be a cost-effective instrument that delivers fast full-wavelength scan data and multi-standard quantitative analysis for high performance in low- and mid-level academic, food and beverage, wastewater and chemical laboratories.
The instrument has a small footprint, requires little maintenance and is simple to set up and use, according to Thermo Fisher Scientific.
It has the ability to provide fast full-range scanning without the need to connect to an external computer.
The onboard controls and full-colour display reduce bench space requirements and offer an intuitive navigation experience similar to a mobile phone - an interface that is easy to learn, even for inexperienced users.
For laboratories with established methods, protocols or SOPs, emulation modes mimic the Spectronic 20 and Genesys 20 for easy method transfer.
The instrument's user-centred design features a removable sample compartment and integrated cuvette rack shelves.
Corrosion resistant, it allows for easier cleaning as the sample compartment can be removed and rinsed in a sink.
Results are displayed on a full-colour LCD graphics screen with variable angle positioning, providing improved clarity of information display.
USB ports support memory devices for method storage and connection to USB printers for added convenience.
