New xenon UV/Vis technology
Reference Beam Compensation (RBC) concept eliminates the effect of the short-term energy fluctuations often associated with the use of xenon flash lamps in spectrophotometry
The Libra S22 spectrophotometer, one of the new range of visible and UV-visible spectrophotometers from Biochrom, utilises its Reference Beam Compensation (RBC) concept to eliminate the effect of the short-term energy fluctuations often associated with the use of Xenon flash lamps in spectrophotometry The 'press-to-read' duty cycle only powers the lamp when it is needed for measurement, when stability is achieved instantaneously

This means that measurements are accurate and highly reproducible, and the instrument combines excellent stability with extended lamp lifetime.
Other benefits are higher energy and lower stray light for measurements up to 3A and no need to change lamps mid-range.
