Macherey-Nagel NANOCOLOR Sulphide 3 Round-bottomed Flask Test, 985073

Smart Photometry: A revolutionary approach to laboratory operations The NANOCOLOR UV/VIS II heralds a new era in water and wastewater analysis. As a high-precision spectrophotometer with a wavelength range of 190 to 1100 nm, it combines high-end analysis with a user experience familiar from your smartphone or tablet. The centrepiece is the brilliant 10.1-inch HD touchscreen, which makes complex measurement procedures child’s play thanks to an intuitive, icon-based menu system. Integrated quality assurance and safety Unique in this class of instrument is the fully automatic turbidity control function (NTU-Check). As turbidity in samples is often not visually detectable but can significantly distort measurement results, the NANOCOLOR UV/VIS II automatically measures turbidity during every analysis and alerts the user in the event of interference. The integrated test equipment monitoring and the direct generation of IQK charts (e.g. in accordance with DWA-A 704) directly within the instrument facilitate audits and guarantee maximum process reliability. Connectivity and Versatility The instrument is equipped for the modern laboratory environment: it features all relevant interfaces (LAN, RS232, USB) for seamless integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS). The integrated 2D barcode scanner automatically recognises cuvette tests, selects the method and performs the measurement – without any manual intervention. In addition to standard routine tests, comprehensive colour measurements, real-time scans and specialised brewery analysis (MEBAK) are pre-installed.

Precise water and wastewater analysis requires reliable measurement technology that is easy to use in day-to-day laboratory work. The NANOCOLOR VIS II photometer from Macherey-Nagel covers the wavelength range from 320–1100 nm and combines high-quality optics with an icon-based, touchscreen menu system for a quick start without the need for lengthy training. Precise measurement technology for everyday laboratory use At its core, the instrument utilises monochromator optics and reference detector technology (RDT). Photometric linearity is < 0.5 % (≤ 2 A) or ≤ 1 % (> 2 A), wavelength accuracy is ± 1 nm and the spectral bandwidth is < 4 nm. A complete scan is completed in less than a minute – ensuring reproducible results in daily measurement routines. The instrument is also insensitive to extraneous light and measures via an open cuvette chamber. Operation, Methods & Connectivity Operation is via barcode technology and a 10.1″ LED-backlit HD display with a projective-capacitive touchscreen (PCAP). Over 200 pre-programmed tests and 99 freely programmable methods cover absorbance, transmittance, factor, kinetic and scan measurements. Connections to laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are available via LAN, 2× USB (host), 1× USB (function) and RS232; the internal data storage (16 GB Micro-SDHC) can hold 5,000 measured values and 100 spectra or colour measurements. Software updates can be installed free of charge via a USB stick. Quality Assurance & Compliance Data storage is GLP-compliant, and internal quality control is carried out via NANOCONTROL NANOCHECK 2.0. In addition, the instrument offers nephelometric turbidity measurement at 860 nm in accordance with ISO 7027 (measuring range 0.1–1000 NTU) – turbidity is thus detected and reported during the measurement itself. The photometer is CE-certified and comes with a 2-year warranty. Versatile In addition to standard measurements (absorbance, transmittance, factor), the NANOCOLOR VIS II also covers kinetic measurements, colour measurements and turbidity determinations. The cuvette chamber accommodates round cuvettes (16 mm OD) as well as rectangular cuvettes (10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm) and is designed for use with NANOCOLOR round and rectangular cuvette tests.

The Macherey-Nagel PF-12Plus compact photometer is a highly advanced, optoelectronic system solution for the precise, mobile and stationary analysis of water, wastewater and environmental samples. As a portable laboratory instrument, this photometer combines state-of-the-art filter photometry with maximum flexibility, whether used directly at the point of interest (POI) or in a traditional laboratory setting. When monitoring critical water parameters, industrial process water flows or municipal sewage treatment works, the accurate and rapid determination of substance concentrations is the primary criterion for documenting and controlling statutory limit values in a way that is gentle on materials, comprehensive and process-reliable. The optical architecture of the PF-12Plus is based on a long-life xenon flash lamp and a precisely calibrated sensor system with seven integrated interference filters. This spectral configuration enables reliable coverage of all relevant wavelengths for the evaluation of Macherey-Nagel’s renowned VISOCOLOR® ECO and NANOCOLOR® round-cell tests. An outstanding mechatronic safety feature is the integrated nephelometric turbidity measurement (NTU-Check). This advanced control function automatically detects interfering turbidity in the sample cuvette during the measurement process and reliably alerts the user to potential measurement errors, an invaluable advantage for analytical validity in harsh field conditions. The photometer’s mechatronic system architecture is consistently designed for maximum user ergonomics and flexibility under changing environmental conditions. Over 100 pre-programmed methods for common parameters (such as ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, COD, phosphorus or heavy metals) enable error-free direct measurement without time-consuming calibration cycles. The splash-proof housing and intuitive menu navigation via the large, backlit graphic display ensure absolutely safe handling for laboratory and service staff. Thanks to flexible power management, optionally via batteries, rechargeable batteries, the integrated USB cable or an external power supply, uninterrupted operational readiness in the field is permanently ensured. To support modern quality management in accordance with stringent GLP and GMP guidelines, the PF-12Plus features an internal data memory for up to 1,000 measurement results, including time, date and sample ID stamps. Via the integrated USB interface, the raw data can be transferred quickly and without damaging the sample to the free NANOCOLOR® PC export software. This enables seamless digital archiving, statistical analysis and the convenient creation of certificates of analysis. The simple option to independently verify instrument calibrations using certified test solutions meets the highest requirements of audited quality management systems.
