Benchtop 508plus UV-VIS Process Analyzer – Spectrometer
Guided Wave’s Benchtop 508plus is a single-channel version of our popular M508plus process analyzer. The Benchtop 508plus is a fiber optic, UV-Vis spectrometer system packaged for use in either laboratory or pilot plant environments. The small size allows for use in many locations. In monitoring mode, up to 16 parameters may be measured, making it suitable for many applications in chemical and polymer plants, refining and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and other specialty chemicals, paints and varnishes, adhesives, wastewater management, biotech, etc. The software runs on an external computer connected to the analyzer via USB.

Optimized for Guided Wave Sample Interfaces
The probe or flow cell is a crucial component of a complete analyzer system. For optimal performance, the sample interface must be “optically matched” with the analyzer and the optical fibers that transmit light. All of Guided Wave’s sample interfaces are matched to the Benchtop 508plus and fibers to achieve the highest possible performance.
Options
Unscrambler® Predictor for expanded modeling capabilities.
