Download Technical Note

The NanoPhotometer® Family offers a unique range of nanovolume and/or cuvette UV/VIS spectrophotometers with flexible control options. All NanoPhotometer® models can be accessed and controlled by a variety of control devices (Figure 1). In addition, a built-in touch screen and battery option is available for independent stand-alone operation.

Stand-Alone Operation

The optional glove compatible color touchscreen converts the NanoPhotometer® into a stand-alone instrument. With the optional battery pack (not available for the N50), mobility and independence from the power grid can be added for at least 8 hours (N120: 3 hours).

Flexible Unit Control

All NanoPhotometer® models have flexible control device options like Windows/Mac computers, Android/Apple tablets and/or Android/Apple smartphones (Table 1). Windows and Mac computers can either be connected via USB cable, through Ethernet cable (LAN) or WLAN within the local network or with a password secured WiFi connection to the unit’s own hotspot. All portable control devices like tablets and smartphones can be connected via WLAN or a password secured WiFi connection.
The NanoPhotometer® App is available from Google Play and the Apple App Store for free. The apps for Windows and Mac can be found on our website at www.implen.de/downloads. Portable control devices like tablets and smartphones have the additional benefit to allow data storage on the control device in Excel and/or PDF format.
