FA590 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer: a high-precision tool for the laboratory
The FA590 spectrophotometer from Faithful is designed for laboratory professionals who want to perform accurate analyses across a wide range of wavelengths. Designed with a dual-beam optical system and a 1200-line per millimetre diffraction grating, it guarantees high performance in absorbance and transmission measurements. The wavelength range covered extends from 190 to 1100 nm, meeting the analysis needs of the pharmaceutical, chemical, environmental and academic sectors.
This model stands out for its adjustable bandwidth resolution (0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 5 nm), which allows the accuracy to be adapted to experimental requirements. Its wavelength accuracy is ±0.3 nm, with repeatability of less than 0.2 nm, ensuring high reliability in measurement reproduction. The FA590 also offers excellent photometric accuracy (up to ±0.002A for absorbances between 0 and 0.5) and remarkable stability, less than ±0.0003A/h at 500 nm.
The user interface is based on a 7-inch TFT colour screen (65,000 colours, 480x800 pixels), offering clear and intuitive navigation. Data can be easily exported via USB-A ports, and the device can be connected to a computer via a USB-B port. Users also have the optionof printing results directly, enhancing integration into work environments requiring rigorous traceability.
The FA590 is compatible with several sample holders, including an 8-position automatic cell holder, a solid sample holder, a microcuvette cell holder, and a 100 mm cuvette holder (not included). An optical mirror with SiO₂ coating helps minimise external interference and ensure the cleanliness of the optical path. The GLP self-check function enhances operational reliability, meeting the quality standards of modern laboratories.
The pre-aligned design of the system allows for quick and safe replacement of lamps, whether deuterium or tungsten. This simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime between analysis runs. The membrane keypad ensures ergonomic control of the device for optimal user comfort.
With its reliable performance, versatility and numerous useful features, the FA590 spectrophotometer is the ideal choice for laboratories looking for a robust, easy-to-use and accurate device.
