The GS-800 calibrated densitometer offers superior accuracy, sensitivity, and data reproducibility. It automatically self-calibrates the optical density to optimize detection.Unlike laser densitometer systems, the GS-800 calibrated densitometer has both transmittance and true reflectance capabilities that allow accurate scans of both transparent and opaque samples. The advantage of true reflectance scanning is accurate detection and analysis of molecules on the surface of membranes, rather than molecules distributed throughout the membrane matrix.

Features and Benefits

• Easy and fast manual handling - Easy handling for left and right handed operators. Sample exchange and sample transport into the heated zone of the oven is provided for by the simple transport system with a magnetic guide rod attached to the glass sample boat.
• Equilibrium conditions are quickly reached - The cold and the hot zone can be purged separately with dry carrier gas using a stopcock. Ambient moisture introduced during sample exchange or addition via the sleeve opening is quickly carried away. Therefore, a stable drift is reached within a short period of time.
• Enhanced operational safety - There is no need to remove the transfer tube from the titration cell after switching off the oven; just open the stopcock to avoid contamination of the oven due to underpressure. Different temperature ranges can be pre-programmed in one cycle. Safety is further improved by automatic shut down after the analysis is completed.
• Ready for use - All necessary parts including the drying unit with gas flow measurement are part of the standard delivery. If purging with dry air is desired, an optional air pump is available.
