METTLER TOLEDO announced the launch of a
completely new spectroscopic instrument line, UV/VIS Excellence. Spectroscopic
workflows are optimized thanks to FastTrack™ technology, which ensures speedy
and reliable measurements within a compact, notebook-size footprint. The
new UV/VIS Excellence product portfolio includes
four models that provide outstanding optical performance: UV5, UV7, UV5Bio and
UV5Nano. The UV5 provides simplicity in UV/VIS spectroscopy with easy direct
measurement applications. The UV7 performance complies with strict EU and US
Pharmacopeia requirements and provides advanced automation possibilities. The
UV5Bio is the ideal instrument for Life Science UV/VIS applications that are
based on cuvette measurement. With the UV5Nano, only 1 mL of sample is needed
thanks to the innovative LockPathTM technology.
FastTrackTM UV/VIS Technology
The new UV/VIS Excellence instruments integrate robust, state-of-the-art
components into a unique spectroscopic system design: FastTrack UV/VIS
technology, which comprises modern fiber optics in combination with array
detection and a Xenon flash lamp. A full spectrum scan is performed within just
one second. Instrument specifications are compliant with Pharmacopeia
regulations; stray light and accuracy requirements are even exceeded. A robust
design ensures measurement stability and contributes to result accuracy and
repeatability. No warm up time is needed for the Xenon flash lamp to reach
stability, so the instrument is always ready to use and its lifetime is greatly
increased.
Optimized Workflow
Spectrum scans, fixed wavelength absorption, quantification with calibration
curves and kinetic analyses are ready to use as direct measurements. Simply
enter parameters, define the workflow, store as a shortcut and start the
measurement with One Click. Users also have the option to choose one of the
predefined, industry-specific METTLER TOLEDO methods for an immediate start.
As Easy As It Gets
UV/VIS Excellence instruments include the One Click user interface, an easy and
intuitive way to run tasks right from the terminal. A large, seven-inch
high-resolution terminal provides clear color representation of spectra and
results at a glance. The user is always securely guided by step-by-step
instructions.
Minimize Sample, Maximize Performance On the UV5Nano
Micro-volume UV/VIS measurement is the method of choice for small sample
amounts or high absorption samples. On the UV5Nano, only 1 µL of the pure
sample is pipetted onto the glass surface and LockPath™ technology makes sure
that the available path lengths of 0.1 and 1 mm are accurately defined.
Measurement errors are avoided and wide concentration ranges can be measured
without further dilutions, saving precious time.
Streamline the UV/VIS Workflow With LabX
UV/VIS PC Software LabX® UV/VIS PC software expands the UV/VIS
Excellence instrument with a comprehensive graphical editor for spectra
evaluation and advanced automation possibilities, as well as enhanced data
analysis and management possibilities fully compliant with 21 CFR part 11/EU
annex 11. Beyond this, LabX fosters seamless UV/VIS instrument integration into
a METTLER TOLEDO based instrument network.
