M550

The double beam scanning UV-VIS spectrometer for high end applications

Description

The spectrometer for high-end analysis in industry and universities

The Camspec M550 is a true double beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer with parallel sample and reference beam paths. It is available in different options from variable to fixed 1.5 nm bandpass. The specifications meet the expectations of a high-end instrument designed for both research and routine use with high demands.
The M550 is compliant with all current US and European Pharmacopoeia guidelines. Thanks to its high-end features it is also suitable for the highest demands in the pharmaceutical industry, such as applications requiring FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) approval. Furthermore, it is optionally available as a dedicated system for specific applications such as color measurement with the Chroma software.
The M550 can be controlled either by the Camspec UV Analyst software or via the LCD display and solvent resistant keypad.
