Aurius Series

With an optical bandwidth of 4nm and superb stability, accuracy and precision these very easy to use instruments are ideal general purpose spectrophotometers. Excellent for routine and quality control laboratories, they offer a wide range of quantitative techniques with wavelength scanning as an option. Both UV Visible and Visible versions are available with full validation procedures.

Super Aurius Series

The Super Aurius instruments are unique for their very high performance scanning, with derivatives, overlay, extended analytical power and multi-cell Kinetics. They cover the full 190-1000nm wavelength range with a narrow 1.8nm optical bandwidth. With straylight of 0.01%, wavelength precision of 0.1nm and baseline stability of better than ±0.001A/hr, the most demanding analytical work may be undertaken.

Performance With Convenience

The ease of operation makes even complex tasks simple. An exceptional range of software and accessories makes the Aurius and Super Aurius instruments superb multi-user instruments, ideal for multi-discipline laboratories.

Absorbance Accuracy

The low straylight of the instruments, less than 0.01%, allows a measurement of 3 absorbances to be made with an error close to 1%.

This performance should be compared with errors of 26%, 10% and 6% which result from straylight of 0.5%, 0.1% and 0.05% respectively for the same measurement.

Six Screen Width Viewing

All scans, curves and data produced by the spectrophotometers may be scrolled across the screen providing a very wide 6 screen widths - 550mm - of viewing of extended displays.

Ease Of Operation

The large screen with contrast control, displays menus and prompts for all applications. All curves, scans and data displayed on screen may be reprocessed before printing.

Software Enhancement By E-SEF

E-SEF - Encoded Software Enhancement Facility - is an important new Cecil design feature. Optional software modules are enabled by entering correctly allocated encoded numbers. These numbers can be provided by telephone, fax or E-Mail. Exact software requirements may therefore be tailored after instrument purchase without incurring delay before use.

Integral Printer

The integral printer versions provide hard copy of spectra, curves and time course plots, as well as timed and dated reports of all experiments. An external, Epson compatible, printer may be used providing large size high quality plots and documentation of quantitative assays.
