ROBUST. FLEXIBLE. SECURE.

ATR Spectroscopy Probe for all kinds of optical highly dense liquids, pastes and high concentrated suspensions

 

Katana XP 12

ATR (Attenuated Total Reflection) Spectroscopy Probe

The Katana XP12 is a UV/Vis spectroscopy probe mainly designed for the use in process environments. This probe model has a high mechanical stability and multiple options for process connections as well as proven design features for non-process applications including a sealed housing with or without external fibers and a ATEX PMA Housing.

Katana XP12 is the process ready probe for all kinds of optical highly dense liquids, pastes and high concentrated suspensions to be measured in the UV-Vis spectroscopy range

RIGID AND ROBUST
through improved mechanical design with severaloptions for process connections

BETTER SIGNAL INTENSITY
through larger sapphire optics

 

IMPROVED SEALING TECHNOLOGY

 

Even suitable for ATEX Environments

With its 3-bounces, the probe is ideally suited to create responses in the high energy UV/Vis spectroscopic scale.  The Katana XP 12 can be integrated directly in the product flow or in a vessel. Due to its robust construction, it is suitable for ATR measurements even under harsh process conditions.

Special Product Advantages

  • Robust process-ready design with or without flange
  • PMA fittings available  
  • Large optics made of high-quality sapphire
  • ATEX approved
  • Multiple interface options from Swagelok through
    ANSI and DIN flanges to PG13.5  
  • Double-sealed immersion probe for long
    and safe operation without interruptions
