Name of equipment:

Water quality analysis – Nanocolor photometer

Purpose:

Nanocolor is a digital photometer suitable for universal use in water and waste water analysis. This instrument can be used in all types of application in the laboratory. Additional features are: processing of non-linear curves, storage of measurement results, warning for values outside the measuring range, sample identification, possibility of programming the user’s own analytical procedures, etc.

Method of
work:

 This instrument uses Bar Code technology. Automatic, instant cuvette recognition by the built in laser scanner allows rapid, easy, routine analysis. The instrument calls up the testing method, sets the wavelength, makes the measurement and stores the result directly from the bar code on the side of each cuvette.
