A New Era of Smart Photronics

Jun 20 2014

In summer 2014 MACHEREY-NAGEL (Germany) unveils the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II spectrophotometer, heralding a new era of smart photometrics. The brand new instrument significantly raises the bar for ease of use, intuitive menu structure and versatility in photometric measurements to provide an even better user experience for our customers.

To maximise intuitive handling and enhance the user experience, the instrument relies on an instinctive icon-based menu structure. The clear start screen provides an excellent overview about the instrument status and allows you to instantly start your favorite methods and function with one simple click. The integrated task bar enables you to command the instrument with universally established functions and provides direct access to all menu options. Thus, the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II delivers the most innovative approach to user interface in photometrical analytics, providing an incredibly easy and enjoyable handling.

To support the smart menu structure, the instrument features an impressively brilliant 10” HD touch screen display. The projected capacitive touch function lets you use the instrument just like a smart phone or tablet, even when wearing safety gloves. Using the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II is therefore based on fun and intuition, creating an unrivaled user experience in the laboratory.

On the technical side, the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II impresses with clever mechanics and optics. The spectral bandwidth has been reduced to just 2 nm, providing added measurement accuracy. The wavelength resolution goes down to 0.1 nm, adding another level of precision to scans and measurements in general. Internal stray light is kept to a minimum of below 0.05 %, thus achieving a particularly clear measurement signal. The general set up of the instrument is designed for durability and easy maintenance, thus reducing your total cost of ownership for the instrument.

Obviously, the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II features the well-known and proven bar-code technology to quickly measure NANOCOLOR® tube tests, while measuring NANOCOLOR® standard tests or pre-programmed methods is easily done as well.

The entirely new scan menu allows you to not only scan in real time at different resolutions, but to perform in depth analyses of your scans. You can highlight peaks and valleys, add and subtract scans and generate high quality images with no additional software or complex programming. The comprehensive scan functions provide you with a powerful tool, which is seamlessly integrated into the instrument’s menu structure.

As a unique aspect of all MACHEREY-NAGEL spectrophotometers the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II also features an integrated NTU measurement function, however, it has been significantly enhanced in the new instrument. The sensitivity has been increased to astonishingly low levels of 0.1 NTU now, enabling turbidity measurements even for drinking water applications. Additionally, the ingenious NTU Check function brings additional safety to the user in the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II as well, featuring optional, instant NTU turbidity detection with every tube test measurement.

Another highlight that has been integrated into the instrument is its ability to measure color. While before a special software was needed, the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II features a built-in color measurement mode, that allows users to run color applications such as CIE L.a.b., Hazen, Admi, and others. The function is based on the instrument’s scanning abilities and offers the function of a full-fledged colour measurement device built into the spectrophotometer. All the added functions make the NANOCOLOR® UV/VIS II an extremely powerful analytical tool, which is unparalleled in the market.

In addition to various IQC functions that allow you to monitor and verify your results quickly and easily, the instrument showcases an impressive set of connectivity options, ranging from classic RS232 over USB to sophisticated LAN and W-LAN capabilities.

All in all, MACHEREY-NAGEL launches an instrument that sets new standards for an entire industry in terms of innovation and intuitive use. The instrument is infused with their passion for quality, precision and accuracy, while adding a new level of simplicity to our customers’ daily work.
