- High-speed scanning
- High sensitivity signal-to-noise ratio 1000 or above (RMS)
- Long life Xenon lamp
- Minimum of four cuvettes compatible with analysis of fluorescing hydrocarbons in organic solvent (pentane)
- Auto-zero capability to subtract solvent response
- Controller PC with operating software compatible with current MS Windows versions (MS Windows10/11)
- Ability to save results as data files.
