A full specification multifunction photometer for the analyst who
demands high quality routine water testing.
Photometer
8000
The Photometer 8000 sets a new standard for water quality testing
and ease of operation. It is designed to provide accurate and fast
analysis for even the busiest test labs. Covering the full range of
tests for clean water and wastewater, it is compatible with all Palintest
tablet and liquid photometer tests.
• Full range of pre-programmed tests
• Automatic method and wavelength set-up
• Touch screen with language selection
• Advanced optics technology with high sensitivity
• Unique adaptive cell holder
• Remote software update by e-mail
With no moving parts, all measurements are made instantly, providing
a very fast sample throughput. Compable Palintest Tubetests reagent
tubes are coded to provide all the instrument needs for wavelength,
range and calibration set up and analysis. The instrument recognises
the tube method and measurement range and automatically sets
up for a measurement. The user simply pushes in the tube and the
instrument does the rest.
The unique multisize cell holder adjusts automatically to all
reagent tubes from 13mm to 20mm diameter with no inserts or
adapters required, again speeding up analysis, and making the
unit very convenient for the routine analysis of large numbers of
samples. The cell holder is fully jam and trap resistant to allow
The Photometer 8000 is fully software driven, with a large backlit
touch-screen providing easy access to all instrument functions.
The software includes a rapid self-test of the complete instrument
including the innovative optical system. The diagnostics continue
to run in a permanent monitoring mode to check power supply,
light levels and system integrity, reporting to the user immediately
