Coloromat 100

Description

New: Coloromat 100

Digital single beam photometer for the determination of liquid color

The new designed Coloromat 100 allows easy measurement  of  transmission, extinction and  ICUMSA liquid colour  units at the recommended standard wavelength 420 nm.

The touch screen is used for soft key functions and alphanumerical inputs which allow easy handling for example batch name, user etc.. The wavelengths are  selected via the touch screen. Three wavelengths are pre-installed as standards, optional the Coloromat 100 can be equipped with six further customized wavelengths.

This opens a wide range of applications . Due to the generous dimensions of  the sample chamber  the use of polarimeter flow through tubes  up to 100 mm  as standard cuvettes allows  easy filling  and a high through-put.

The sample compartment is open to the top and the bottom avoiding spillage to enter the unit. Due to its unique optical design the COLOROMAT is not affected by stray light.

The Coloromat 100 is equipped with a continuous measuring mode with free configurable sampling rate for monitoring color changes  in product streams as a function of time.

The general operating software contained in the FLASH MEMORY can be updated by PC (data file downloaded from  Internet or CD ROM) and has a capacity for 250 pre-programmed tests. Up to 230 tests can be stored in the RAM. The import of data by touch screen or PC are possible. Additionally up to 2970 results of max. 99 samples can be managed in the memory.
