About This Product
Designed for use in schools and colleges, this lightweight colorimeter has a large display and is simple to set up. The choice of absorbance or percentage transmission readout allows the fundamentals of colorimetry to be explained, and the kinetics mode supports the study of reaction rates. A drain hole at the bottom of the cell compartment stops spillages from affecting the instrument.
