T60
U V- V I S S P E C T R O P H O T O M E T E R

The T60 is a high performance compact split beam

spectrophotometer with a fixed 2nm spectral bandwidth.
The T60 range consists of two models:
T60U (UV-Visible) operating within a wavelength range of 190 -
1100nm. T60V (Visible) operating within a wavelength range of
325 - 1100nm.
The instrument has a switched mode power supply accepting
voltages in the range of 95 - 240V AC and supplied with either
universal pathlength 5 cell changer or fixed path length 8 cell
changer as standard.
The T60 delivers the functionality and accuracy of an advanced
Fixed pathlength 8-cell changer
instrument at an affordable price.

OPTICAL SYSTEM & COMPONENTS

High quality optical components ensure reliable analytical
data with low stray light achieved using very low noise
Cell holder
electronic circuits.
Deuterium and tungsten light sources deliver superior
stability across the full wavelength range. Both types of
lamp have self timers and are inexpensive and easy to
replace when required.
The monochromator is completely sealed and the optical
surfaces can be easily cleaned to maintain optimum
reflectivity over the lifetime of the instrument.
A maintenance free high resolution direct stepper drive
positions the grating precisely, which ensures reproducible
wavelength scanning at different scan speeds, thus
negating any wavelength peak shift.
The spectrophotometer shell is made from an
environmentally friendly non corrosive material and a
simple retaining mechanism on the base allows easy access
for air filter changes and routine maintenance.
