1 Introduction
1.1 Intended use of SPEKOL 2000
The SPEKOL ® 2000 is a compact, computer-controlled two-beam spectral photometer to measure the transmission, extinction, concentration and energy level of liquid samples. It is designed to perform measurement within the spectral range of 190 nm to 1100 nm. Its optical system ensures genuine real-time operation, so even variations in the absorption of a reference sample can be compensated while measurement is going on. Combined with powerful WinASPECT ® software, the SPEKOL ® 2000 is particularly suited for applications in clinical, biochemical, chemical or environmental laboratories, as well as other sectors of routine analytics, research, development and quality control.
This User Manual contains a detailed description of the SPEKOL ® 2000, its specifications, available accessory items and useful advice on maintenance.
Once the photometer has been carefully unpacked, you should visually check for completeness of delivery against the packing list. Likewise, one should perform an inspection for proper condition. On noticing any kind of non-conformity, you are advised to immediately contact our Representative Office or our Service.
