The Palintest Photometer 8000 sets a new standard for water quality testing and ease of operation. It is designed to provide accurate and fast analysis for even the busiest test labs. Covering the full range of tests for clean and wastewater, it is compatible with all Palintest tablet and liquid photometer tests.
With no moving parts, all measurements are made instantly, providing a very fast sample throughput. Compatible Palintest Tubetests reagent tubes are coded to provide all the instrument needs for wavelength range and calibration set-up and analysis. The instrument recognizes the tube method and measurement range and automatically sets up for a measurement. The user simply pushes in the tube and the instrument does the rest!
The unique multi-size cell holder adjusts automatically to all reagent tubes from 12mm to 20mm diameter with no inserts or adaptors required, again speeding up analysis, and making the unit very convenient for the routine analysis of large numbers of samples since no manual intervention is required to change ranges or tube sizes. The cell holder is fully jam- and trap-resistant to allow fast and secure tube swapping.
With an innovative permanent dual light source, the correct wavelength is automatically selected. A high efficiency light-focusing system provides a very high level of light throughput to the cells. The high intensity sources are up to 10 times brighter than the conventional optics found in other instruments and the optical system eliminates stray light effects, allowing the instrument to be used at maximum precision.
Dynamic Active Light Level Compensation in the optical system eliminates drift and ensures accurate measurements immediately from switch on, with no warm-up period required, providing a fast and convenient sample throughput.
The unique light lensing system with reference channels optimizes precision by compensating for optical imperfections in reagent tubes.
The Photometer 8000 is fully software driven, with a large backlit touch-screen providing easy access to all instrument functions. The software includes a rapid self-test of the complete instrument including the innovative optical system. The diagnostics continue to run in permanent monitoring mode to check power supply, light levels and system integrity, reporting to the user immediately any variation that would affect the analysis
