SPECORD PLUS Series

The SPECORD PLUS series includes UV/Vis instruments of outstanding precision and reliability, intuitive operation with a user-friendly and powerful software, and a very broad range of accessories. Whether routine analysis or complex applications, both UV/Vis novices and experts can easily achieve consistent and reproducible measurement results of highest quality. The SPECORD PLUS series offers the flexibility and ease-of-use to meet current and future analytical challenges.

Well Equipped for All Requirements
The SPECORD PLUS series is characterized by high-end technology for precise UV/Vis spectroscopic measurements and reliable results. The extended wavelength range in the UV range and in the NIR region from 185 to 1200 nm in combination with the various accessories for liquid, gaseous, powderous and solid samples ensures the UV/Vis spectroscopic analysis of a variety of molecules and compounds. The windows-based software is designed both for beginners as well as experts in UV/Vis spectroscopy and supports working according to the latest pharmacopoeia regulations and in highly regulated industries.

The All-Rounder for UV/Vis Spectroscopy

As the requirements for analytical testing become more demanding and complex, as regulations and standards become increasingly stringent, the SPECORD PLUS family of instruments for UV/Vis analysis offers the fitting solution. A decade-long experience in spectroscopy in combination with innovative and intelligent engineering and a continuously updated software according to latest legal requirements results in the SPECORD PLUS spectrophotometer. The robust und function-driven design, including a 10-year warranty on optics, guarantees a reliable and durable spectrophotometer for many years of trustworthy results. The combination of deuterium and halogen lamps ensures a high energy intensity over the complete wavelength range and thus a high resolution even at the high and low wavelength regions. This is especially important for the extended wavelength range from 185 to 1200 nm, which exceeds the regular wavelength region not only in the UV range but also into the NIR range. Multiple and flexible applications are not only supported through the high accuracy and extended wavelength range, but also through the large number of accessories. Rectangular and cylindrical cuvettes with up to 10 cm can be used in the large sample compartment of the SPECORD PLUS spectrophotometer. Additionally, a holder for round cuvettes with variable diameters from 11 to 16 mm for all standard manufacturers is available. Also microvolume measurements are supported by special adapters for UVette, micro and ultra-micro cuvettes and Tray Cell for volumes as small as 4 µL. The center height can be adjusted for accurate results. Additionally, various temperature-controlled cell holder and cell changer, on demand also equipped with stirrer, are available. A special temperature sensor enables accurate temperatures settings of 0.1 °C. For high throughput analysis, autosamplers with up to 116 positions, fiber coupling with immersion probes, sipper systems and a cuvette carousel are available. Not only liquid and dissolved samples can be analyzed, but special equipment enables also the UV/Vis spectroscopic analysis of gaseous, solid and powdered samples. This applicational variety is supported by accessories such as the holder for absorption tubes, the integration sphere and additional accessories for scanning, transmission and reflection with adjustable angles and various diameters. The newly developed holder for contact lenses for transmittance measurements is available in different diameters. The large sample compartment does not only allow the flexible use of two accessories simultaneously, such as the 2x8-fold cell changer, but also a fast and convenient exchange of the individual accessories. As a special feature for uninterrupted measurement is not only the long lifetime of lamps, but additionally the tool-free and fast exchange of lamps.

The software ASpect UV is a powerful and flexible tool for the recording and analysis of UV/Vis data. The software is Windows based and is therefore intuitive for users. The easy handling is additionally supported through ten preinstalled languages, among them English, German, Spanish, French and Mandarin. The Quick Start function, which can be individually adapted, allows users the automated recording and analysis of UV/Vis data within just a few clicks. The additional modules for FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Ph. Eur. and USP enable pharma compliant measurements without much effort. Several levels of user management are preinstalled and can easily be modified and customized. The system with flexible digital signatures additionally facilitates the work in strictly regulated industries such as the pharmaceutical industry.
