Camspec has completed its latest family of products with the launch of the new M508 basic programmable UV/Visible instrument. Like its smaller Visible M108 'brother' instrument, which was launched late last year, the M508 is fitted with stepper motors for wavelengths and professional filters. Its stylish 9-button keypad and a 4-line, 20-character display enable users to store and recall up to 200 methods or sets of results.

However, as a UV/Visible Spectrophotometer, the M508 offers a 200-1000nm wavelength range and low stray light of 0.1%T at 220nm and 340nm. It features Tungsten-Halogen and Deuterium light sources, and a list price of £1,995 ex vat makes it highly appealing for many applications.

Data output from this new intelligent UV/Visible Spectrophotometer can include method number and name, wavelength, date and time, %T, Abs, Concentration and unit, and the instrument can be supplied with an optional in-built 40 character thermal professional printer. PC Application Professional software options include concentration curves, timescan and wavelength scanning.

Camspec's Managing Director, Tony Moss, says: "Our product range now provides end-users with a wide range of application flexibility and offers hardware and software compatibility to technicians working with different Camspec instruments."
