The Model 6300 is designed to provide a high quality, easy to use measurement system for routine analysis. The 6300 has modes for Absorbance, %T and Concentration measurement. Calibration is performed against a blank (Abs and %T) and a standard or factor for Concentration. Wavelength selection is made electronically via a finely geared stepper motor with a displayed resolution of 1nm

Features include:

A custom designed LCD gives simultaneous readout of wavelength and photometric result. Error messages, prompts, mode indication and a choice of concentration units are presented in an easily understood format.

Simple keypad layout and operating protocols ensure reliable operation by unfamiliar users.

An impressive optical performance minimises the stray light by the automatic activation of internal filters, whilst the narrow 8nm bandwidth provides the high degree of selectivity essential for most analytical situations. A precision stepper motor gives excellent positional control for the optical grating ensuring wavelength selection is both accurate and highly repeatable.

A versatile sampling system comprising a large cell chamber and the variable length cuvette holder allow 10-100mm path length cells to be accommodated with ease, therefore changing of the sample configuration is quick and simple. Additional sampling flexibility can be gained using 10-25mm diameter test tubes or the optional 4 position cell holder. Flow through cuvettes can be used with the optional sipper pump, while water heated or electrically heated cuvette holder options are available.

Full interfacing capability using RS232 interfacing or an analogue output is provided as standard. Utilising the RS232 facility allows results to be down loaded via the front panel print key.
The bi-directional interface also allows remote interrogation and control of the 6300 which is now possible with the PC software provided. This package includes a data logging option.

Traceable calibration standards provide the on-going assurance of accuracy required by Good Laboratory Practice (G.L.P.). The 6300 complies fully with EEC and US directives relating to ESD/EMC emission and susceptibility.

Self calibrating lamp at 3 wavelengths
Full interfacing capability

Features include:

A customised LCD gives simultaneous readout of wavelength and photometric result. Error messages, prompts, mode indication and a choice of concentration units are presented in an easily understood format.

Simple keypad layout and operating protocols ensure reliable operation by unfamiliar users.

The xenon lamp source offers a broad spectral source and extended life, therefore minimising the running costs of the product over its lifetime. The key feature of the lamp is that 40% of the energy of the lamp is emitted below 400nm, with intensity at 260nm which means an extra 5-10 times energy in the UV region compared to deuterium lamps. This makes the 6305 an ideal instrument for protein peptide or DNA studies.

A 3 point wavelength calibration is performed each time the 6305 is switched on, by looking at the fixed emission lines of the xenon lamp. This ensures the certainty of wavelength setting (247, 528 and 824nm) and provides the on-going assurance of accuracy required by Good Laboratory Practice (G.L.P.). The 6305 complies fully with EEC and US directives relating to ESD/EMC emission and susceptibility

Supervisor Security functions, when activated, enable all the set up options to be locked. These cannot be changed without the entry of a security code number.

Simultaneous display of Absorbance, Transmission and Wavelength in the Photometrics mode means that manual range changing is not necessary.

Simple concentration measurements using a single standard or factor can be made in the concentration mode. The Quantitation mode allows more complex concentration methods to be programmed, using up to 6 standards to create a calibration curve. For each curve fit option a linearity correlation coefficient is calculated.

A real-time graphical display of Kinetic measurement is shown, along with the calculated concentration value and other relevant data.

The Spectrum Scanning mode allows scans to be made across and selected portion of the 320-1000nm range. The auto-ranging Absorbance axis allows scans to be commenced with no prior knowledge of the peak Absorbance level expected.

The 6310 has an analogue output that can be used to drive chart recorders and other analogue recording or conversion devices.

A bi-directional RS232 serial port allows connection to serial printers and computers.

Both models incorporate a bi-directional interface allowing remote operation, calibration and interrogation by an external computer.

An automatic results log allows readings to be stored in a data file either when the print key is pressed; at a user defined set time interval or by a multiple sample assay using the 8 position cell holder. Data files have a user entered ID and can be saved in internal memory or to an external data card. Results saved in internal memory can be transferred to an external data card

Method storage allows all user set parameters to be saved against a user identification. A method can be subsequently recalled which configures the instrument to the saved parameters. The instrument settings for a recalled method can be altered and subsequently saved against the same or a different method identification. Methods can be saved in internal memory or to an external memory card. Methods saved in internal memory can be transferred to an external data card. The instruments memory has the capacity to store a minimum of fifty methods.

Traceable calibration standards provide the on-going assurance of accuracy required by Good Laboratory Practice (G.L.P.).
