Ideally-suited for transflection measurements in process applications. The high-performance measuring head enables extremely precise and reliable measurement results. Available in diameters 6 mm and 12 mm.
Suitable for transparent or slightly turbid media
Variable path lengths eliminate the need for sample dilution
The Falcata XP model series allows the optical path lengths to be easily adjusted by means of exchangeable path length inserts. This allows different measurements to be performed without the need to dilute the sample.
Spectrum of the same sample measured with different path length inserts
Precise and reproducible measurement results
The interchangeable path length tips are screwed to a stop and thus provide a reproducible optical path length.
High Process Safety
The probe is composed of standardized components that are kept in stock. This ensures rapid availability of spare parts. This leads to higher process reliability and plant efficiency.
