XION 500: Precision and Reliability in Spectrophotometry
The HACH XION 500 spectrophotometer is a laboratory instrument designed to ensure high-precision analyses. It covers a spectral range from 340 to 900 nm, enabling a wide variety of analytical applications. Its automatic calibration system, performed at each startup, ensures optimal measurement accuracy.
The XION 500 is equipped with a cuvette compartment that can accommodate rectangular cuvettes ranging from 10 to 50 mm, as well as round cuvettes, facilitating the analysis of various sample types. Its automatic cuvette evaluation mode via barcode reading allows for efficient handling and simplified management of laboratory tests.
Featuring a halogen lamp that covers the entire visible and near-UV spectrum, the XION 500 ensures remarkable measurement stability. Its 1200 lines/mm concave grating optimizes wavelength dispersion, providing high resolution for precise analyses. The zero-point stability is maintained at ±0.0034 A over 12 hours, and photometric reproducibility reaches ±0.001 A at A=1.0, ensuring result consistency.
The XION 500's connection system is designed for easy integration into the laboratory environment. It features an RS-232C serial port for data transfer to compatible PCs and printers, as well as a Centronics parallel port for direct printing of results. Its user interface allows for intuitive navigation and quick configuration of analysis parameters.
In terms of maintenance, the XION 500 requires minimal intervention. Its self-monitoring system identifies potential anomalies and displays error messages for easy diagnosis. Maintenance is primarily limited to replacing the halogen lamp and regularly cleaning the measurement compartments.
The XION 500 spectrophotometer is an ideal choice for laboratories seeking a high-performance and reliable solution for their spectrophotometric analyses. It combines precision, stability, and ease of use, ensuring reproducible measurements that meet analytical requirements.
