Available Models
For routine applications
Prove 100 is the best choice for those who primarily use our broad range of Spectroquant® test kits, or only performVis measurements. High quality and great value for money for yourdaily analyses.
For sensitive measurements
Thanks to its long-lasting xenon lamp, Prove 300 is ideal for more intensive use. What’s more, it is capable of both UV and Vis measurements, so you have greater flexibility for moreintricate analyses.
For complex analyses
Designed for high-end UV/Vis optics, and cells of up to 100-mm, Prove 600 packs great power into a compact size. Excellent resolution and sensitivity for use with test kits, complex kinetics or spectral measurements.
