Spectrophotometers for all CAMBRIDGE
SCIENCE PARK, UK – 1 November 2003 – UV/Visible
Spectrophotometer manufacturer
Biochrom Ltd has extended its Ultrospec, GeneQuant, Libra and WPA ranges
so that it can meet the needs of all users in the bioscience, industrial,
research and educational markets. “Since
Biochrom acquired WPA last year, we have combined our product development,
marketing and manufacturing” said Biochrom Ltd Managing Director David Parr.
“We now have a very broad offering, which ranges from the highly sophisticated
Libra S32, meeting European Pharmacopoeia
requirements, to WPA’s Colourwave CO7500 hand-held colorimeter for schools and
colleges.” “With
our expertise in manufacturing and servicing, we meet the highest standards of
instrument specification for the most demanding of industries,” he said. “We
also offer exceptional value for money, which is an important criterion for all
users these days.” Media

Biochrom and UV/Visible spectrophotometry Biochrom
has been a leading supplier of quality instrumentation to science and industry
for over 30 years. It has supplied
tens of thousands of its analytical instruments around the world and sold them
as own-label brands through its distribution partners.
UV/Visible
spectrophotometry is an analytical technique used in most laboratories. Biochrom
manufactures industry-standard UV/Visible spectrophotometers for its Ultrospec
and GeneQuant ranges. Biochrom
developed the Libra range of affordable, easy-to-use UV/visible
spectrophotometers for market segments other than life sciences, which it
continues to serve through the distribution arm of Amersham Biosciences. 2. Libra S32/S32PC·
A high-performance, stand-alone scanning
UV/Visible spectrophotometer (190–1100nm)with built-in liquid-crystal display
and high-resolution graphics (Libra S32), making it ideal for method development
and use in multi-user research or analytical laboratories. ·
Meets European Pharmacopoeia requirements for
resolution (<1.8nm bandwidth) and stray light. ·
Press to read, high-performance deuterium and
tungsten lamps for reduced cost of ownership. ·
Instrument-performance validation provides user
confidence to address GLP legislation. ·
Built-in Applications software for Scan,
Kinetics, Substrate Concentration, Multi Wavelength Equation Entry (Libra S32). ·
Facility for 50 stored methods with direct
output of results to Excel, using Spreadsheet Interface Software and serial
cable supplied as standard. ·
Can be connected to PC and used with Acquire
software (Acquire supplied with Libra S32PC). ·
Wide range of sample-handling accessories
(8-position cell changer is standard). 3.
Colourwave CO7500 ·
The
Colourwave CO7500 colorimeter was designed with the student user in mind –
small and compact, yet robust enough to withstand the most inquisitive. ·
Simple to
use. One-button references against the blank. Sample read in a choice of Abs or
%T. Kinetics function allows the study of rates of reaction. ·
Contains 8
gelatin filters housed in an integral filter wheel to prevent loss of individual
filters. Wavelength changed by turning a thumbwheel. ·
Both digital and analogue outputs, so results
can be downloaded to a printer or a PC via the RS232 output or to a chart
recorder or PC (using a suitable interface) via the 2 x 4mm sockets. ·
Battery-operated model (CO7500B) is also
available. Internal rechargeable battery allows the colorimeter to be used when
disconnected from the mains electricity supply. |
