Introduction
1.1 Instrument Description
Three models are available to cover a wide range of applications. The model 6280
covers the most sensitive determinations with emission wavelengths up to 650nm.
Where higher emission wavelengths will be utilised the model 6285 with its red-
enhanced detector is applicable. For less sensitive applications with a broader
wavelength range the model 6270 will meet the necessary requirements.
All three models offer intuitive operation with a user interface based on logical menus
that can be navigated from the simple keypad. Up to 20 methods can be created
without restriction and be saved for future use, they can also be locked against
accidental change by password entry, ensuring data integrity.
The permanent time and date tag on every stored reading further enhances Good
Laboratory Practice, while calibration reminders and operator identity can also be
entered to support conformance and traceability of operation.
With press-to-read operation and Total energy transfer (TET) technology the output
of the high-energy xenon lamp is maximised and its expected life extended so that it
should never need replacing in normal use.
The high quality optics is complemented by the Intelligent Filter Modules (IFM) that
can be identified by the system, this enables error messages to be generated and
displayed should the wrong filters be fitted or their positions be incorrect.
All models are powered from an external, universal mains adapter suitable for use
from 90Vac to 264Vac, while the 12V dc input enables use of the fluorimeters in
vehicles or from suitable battery packs.
Where temperature controlled fluorescence studies are necessary an optional
electrically heated sample holder is easily fitted while for continuous flow analysis an
external sipper pump and a wide range of flow through cuvettes are also available.
