Spectrophotometer NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS

NANOCOLOR® VIS from MACHEREY-NAGEL is a compact VIS spectrophotometer. The wide wavelength range and the included powerful software allow to flexibly use the spectrophotometer for multiple applications and in many different industries. Pre-programmed NANOCOLOR® analysis methods and freely programmable individual applications make the NANOCOLOR® VIS a high performance instrument for routine and reference analytics as well as for highly specific and individual needs.

High quality optical components paired with quick and precise wavelength adjustment guarantee exact results. The NANOCOLOR® VIS optics is insensitive to the influence of external light. Round (16 mm) and rectangular (10, 20, 50 mm) cuvettes can be inserted and measured in the open cuvette slot without light shield or the need for an adaptor. The self-explanatory menus, a colored, backlit touch screen as well as the multi-lingual user guidance ensure an easy and user-friendly operation of the instrument.

The NANOCOLOR® VIS spectrophotometer includes the process characteristics of all NANOCOLOR® analysis methods. If a barcoded test tube is inserted, the selection of the test method and suitable wavelength, the actual measurement and storage of the measurement results are carried out automatically without pressing any other button. NANOCOLOR® Barcode Technology (NBT) uses fully automatic test tube detection to simplify measurements and to minimize the risk of errors.

In addition to pre-programmed tests and basic photometric functions, the NANOCOLOR® VIS can also perform turbidity measurements according to DIN standards, color measurements and special brewery analytics. Furthermore, 100 additional user-defined methods can be programmed into the instrument for universal use and customer specific applications.

The high performance optics generates high precision scans in just a few seconds. The photometer also features 3 USB-ports as well as a RS 232 interface for quick and free of charge updates via PC / internet and easy data transfer. Saved data from measurements can be exported with the NANOCOLOR® VIS – software or a USB stick to a computer as to document and manage your data conforming to GLP. On the computer, the data can be saved, edited and administered using standard PC software as well.

Together with the PC software, the NANOCOLOR® VIS meets all requirements for internal quality control. Within the photometer, standard measurements can be highlighted and saved together with all relevant information, such as LOT number, test / standard used, reference value and tolerance. The photometer also features an “Admin mode”, in which each user is assigned with a specific user-name and password. Every user as well as every test has a measurement and day counter.

Depending on the individual settings, for every day / measurement, the counters are adjusted. Upon reaching a certain threshold value, which can be defined by the administrator, the photometer asks to perform a standard measurement. The PC – software is able to read the memory of the photometer and to display the data in a table. All standard measurements are automatically displayed together in one document. The PC software can thus create printable quality control documents in a fully automatic way. The documents are ideal for your records in case of audits by regulatory bodies.

The NANOCOLOR® VIS is suitable for universal use in all areas of water and waste water analysis. Relevant industries are for example industrial waste water, drinking water, process water, surface water, ground water as well as cooling or boiler feed water. The NANOCOLOR® VIS is also ideal for quality control in various industry segments such as food or beverage industry.
