Kemtrak Photometers and Cells
The Kemtrak analysis chains consist of :
a Transmitter or Photometer
Housing protects all electronics including light sources and detectors (IP65), available for ATEX zones
a measuring Cell
In contact with the product without dead volume,
and Optical Fibers
Industrial type, which connect the control unit to the measuring cell
Kemtrak Transmitters are in-line measurement systems for UV, visible, near-infrared (IR), Absorbance Units, BackScatter units and fluorescence.
-
optical density measurement of UV to NIR from 250 to 2000nm (UV-VIS-NIR DCP007 UV & accessory NIST)
-
optical density measurement of color and turbidity (VIS & NIR 350 - 1050nm, DCP007),
-
backscatter measurement (model NBP007) up to 600 g/l probes PG13,5 & TC
-
nephelometric measurement (ratiometric) for low turbidity (model TC007) from 0 to 100 ppm,
-
fluorescence measurement (FL007)
The series 007 also provides as standard, an intuitive and graphical user interface that can be accessed via any browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari ...) with the TCP / IP protocol.
The web interface offers the possibility of remote control as well as easy access to operating procedures.
In addition to the analog output (s), a Modbus output is provided as standard
Kemtrak Photometer 007
Multiple Configurations
The on-board electronics of the 700 series allow secure installation even in the ATEX zone.
Industrial-type optical fibers conduct light from the photometer to the cell and return it to the transmitter.
The model, the measuring range and the wavelengths must be configured at the factory and depend on the application.
Kemtrak measurement chains are true online spectrophotometers. Because of their design, a simple zeroing calibrates them. A NIST accessory can be introduced into the measurement loop to verify and document this calibration.
Guarantees without maintenance.

Kemtrak single-use Cells
The Kemtrak single-use UV Cell is designed to provide maximum practicality and flexibility in biopharmaceutical processes.
With a selection of line sizes and a wide choice of optical path lengths, the Kemtrak single-use UV Cell is ideally suited for chromatographic separation and filtration applications.
The system includes a universal holder and a disposable cell. The cell has protected connections for Kemtrak fiber optical cables which are themselves connected to a nearby DCP007 UV analyzer. The cells are positively positioned and firmly held in tight tolerance positioning slots with a spring-loaded clamping knob.
Zero dead volume ensures sharp edge detection in separation processes.
Benefits
Hygienic cell for single use
Quick release mechanism
Zero dead volume
Sizes from ¼ "to 1"
Travel lengths from 10 mm (4.5 OD) to 0.5 mm (90 OD)

ATEX Enclosure
ATEX Enclosure for Série 700 Photometers and Turbidimeters
Kemtrak EX-D1
Enclosure intended for the use of photometers and turbidimeters in ATEX zone 1.
Equipped with a Lamp display control Window and 4 push buttons for control of the transmitter.
The optical fibers designed by Kemtrak are particularly suitable for ATEX zones, since they do not conduct electricity but cold light low voltage.
The optical fibers are connected to the enclosure through EExd glands packed with a component that seals the fibers together creating an impenetrable barrier.
They must be exclusively EX type.

Calibration and validation Accessory
Non intrusive calibration validation
Confirm linearity and photometric accuracy
Cross validation with a laboratory
Standard filter holder 12,5mm
DO / AU measurement with no loss of product
The NIST Kemtrak accessory validates the calibration.
The non-intrusive filter / bowl holder allows the reference filter or certified liquid cuvette to be inserted directly into the light path without interrupting and contaminating your process.
It is designed to receive an absorbance filter or cuvette equivalent to those used by laboratory spectrophotometers.
This accessory is optional, but can also be used alone, without the cell, to perform offline measurements.
