Libra S12 addresses quality control needs in the analytical and industrial laboratory where higher specification and a wider choice of accessories are required.

The instrument has absorbance, transmittance, absorbance ratio and factor concentration modes, as well as absorbance against time and scanning capabilities. The benefits of enhanced software functionality, including standard curve mode, reaction rate slope calculation, multi-wavelength equation definition and storage of user defined methods, will be useful in the QC laboratory. Graphics are displayed and can be printed out for the scan, kinetics and standard curve routines. The instrument start-up menu may be customised by the laboratory manager in order to meet the applications requirements of the laboratory. As measurement needs change, the menu can be altered accordingly.

The Libra S12 has a 25 pin multi-purpose output as standard for output to PC or chart recorder with the appropriate interface. In addition, it can be used with a parallel output printer. Furthermore, the instrument can be used in conjunction with Acquire Lite PC-based software to expand the capability of the instrument.
