NANOCOLOR® 500 D Single-Beam Photometer: precision, reliability, and versatility for water analysis
The NANOCOLOR® 500 D photometer from Macherey+Nagel is an essential laboratory device for high-precision photometric analyses. Designed to meet the needs of water testing laboratories, this instrument is used for analyzing drinking water, wastewater, surface water, groundwater, and process water. With its robust and compact design, it fits perfectly into any working environment, whether in stationary labs or field operations, offering maximum flexibility.
Equipped with advanced optical technology, the NANOCOLOR® 500 D covers a broad spectrum of wavelengths from 340 to 860 nm. Its silicon photometric sensor and precision filters ensure accurate readings, even at high extinction levels. The device uses an efficient argon point light source that emits short light pulses for each measurement, resulting in low energy consumption and extended lamp life.
The NANOCOLOR® 500 D is fully automated to simplify analysis procedures. Upon inserting a test tube, the photometer automatically recognizes the barcode, adjusts the required parameters, and guides the user step by step through the measurement process via its clear graphic display. Results are delivered quickly, accurately, and are easy to interpret thanks to detailed on-screen information and built-in alerts in case of range exceedance or measurement errors.
The internal memory of the device can store up to 500 datasets, including sample numbers and sampling locations, facilitating traceability and post-analysis data management. Furthermore, the NANOCOLOR® 500 D offers full connectivity via USB or RS232 interface for data export to a PC or compatible printer. The Macherey+Nagel Photometer Data Export software allows users to efficiently process results in Excel spreadsheets or Access databases.
Designed to meet evolving laboratory needs, it also allows the programming of up to 100 user-defined methods, with the ability to handle non-linear curves for customized analyses. The integrated rechargeable battery enables up to 3000 measurements per charge, and the device remains operational while charging, ensuring maximum availability.
Ideal for demanding environments, the NANOCOLOR® 500 D is a trusted companion for ensuring reliable analysis quality and compliance with regulatory standards. Its ease of use, combined with precise measurements and numerous features, makes it an indispensable tool for water analysis professionals.
