Introduction

1.1 Instrument Description

Threemodels are available to cover a wide range of applications. The model 6280 covers the most sensitive determinations with emission wavelengths up to 650nm. Where higher emission wavelengths will be utilised the model 6285 with its red- enhanced detector is applicable. For less sensitive applications with a broader wavelength range the model 6270 will meet the necessary requirements.
