MilliporeSigma Introduces Spectroquant® Prove for Simplified, Durable and Secure Water Analysis

• Applications for waste water, drinking water, beverages and process water
• Largest choice of water test kits with Live ID for accurate and fully traceable results
• Three models for routine applications, sensitive measurements and complex analyses

MilliporeSigma, the U.S. life science business of Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany, has introduced Spectroquant^® Prove, a new class of spectrophotometers for simplified, durable and secure analysis of waste water, drinking water, beverages and process water. Spectroquant Prove is available in three models to meet a broad range of requirements and offers the largest choice of water test kits and methods including complete documentation.

“Our new Spectroquant Prove systems help scientists solve tough problems by uniting the three most important requirements across all water applications: simplicity, security and durability,” said Udit Batra, President and CEO, MilliporeSigma. “With these systems we are helping to accelerate access to health care for people around the world.”

Users have the flexibility to select a water analysis tool that fits their individual needs and applications with the following three available models:

• Spectroquant Prove 100 performs Vis measurements and offers high quality and exceptional value for routine applications with Spectroquant^® cell test kits.
• Spectroquant Prove 300 allows UV/Vis analyses. Its long-lasting xenon lamp makes it ideal for more intensive use. Pre-programmed free applications, like bromate and brewery tests, make it the perfect choice for drinking water and beverage testing.
• Spectroquant Prove 600 offers all the benefits of the Prove 300 system, delivers excellent resolution and sensitivity and is designed for complex analyses with high-end UV/Vis optics. The system offers a 1.8nm bandwidth and cuvettes up to 100mm. Together with the most sensitive silicate and chloride test kits, the lowest measuring ranges in process water are reached.

Spectroquant Prove’s simple design requires only a minimal amount of space and its surfaces are durable against many chemicals used in the lab. Spectroquant Prove also allows for easy data transfers with maximum flexibility and minimal effort.

The Spectroquant Prove family of instruments and test kits increases the efficiency and reliability of water analysis through a variety of key features, including:

Live ID, a new, data-rich identification system on all cell and reagent tests for transferring “live” data like expiry and lot number together with automatic, complementary calibration updates.

Cell Test Ports offers direct insertion of round cell tests without opening any lids.

AutoSelector for Reagent Tests automatically detects the analysis method and provides all Live ID data.

Automatic cell size recognition for rectangular cells calculates results accordingly.

Smart Screen for simple, seamless menu navigation.

AQA prime for exceptionally secure and easy analytical quality assurance.

Long-life lamp, new reference beam technology minimizes the effort and costs of replacing lamps.

Removable cell compartment, the cell holder can be removed and cleaned if something is spilled.
