Falcata XP 12

Falcata Xtremely Precise

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

 

  • Reaction monitoring in chemical synthesis
  • Control of process chromatography
  • Determination of color numbers
  • Versatile due to exchangeable path length inserts

 

 

Versatile use through exchangeable path length inserts

Compact design for easy and space-saving integration into the process

Easy transfer of calibrations for laboratory to process applications

Falcata inserts for path lengths 1 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm

Special Features

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.
