ECOLOGY: Incorporates a Xenon flash lamp, which is an environmentally friendly, low-power consumption, long-life light source.

Adoption of a Xenon flash lamp

By adopting a long-lasting Xenon flash lamp, the product delivers a long life for its lamp, eliminating the need for periodic lamp replacement that was necessary in previous model^*1.

Energy saving design

Through control of the Xenon flash lamp that emits pulses only during measurement, power consumption is reduced by 70% compared with previous model.

Reduced measurement time

The automatic switching of 6 cells by using an automatic 6-cell turret and a high-speed scanning (12,000 nm/min) deliver a substantial reduction in measurement time (approximately 60% reduction). The examples shown in the figure compare^*2 the amount of time required to measure 100 samples (5 wavelengths × 20 samples) with a previous model^*1, based on biological analyses and quality control on food products.

DESIGN:User-friendly, compact, lightweight design

Compact, lightweight design

The U-5100 features a 38% smaller footprint, and a 52% reduction in weight compared with a previous model^*1, which makes it easier to secure an adequate installation space.

EASY OPERATION: Performing at a Higher Level! The operation of the U-5100 is very easy minimizing the operator training time

The standard configuration of an automatic 6-cell turret makes performing measurements a breeze. As part of its standard configuration, the system is equipped with a 6-cell turret which accommodates up to six 10-mm rectangular cells.
The system can measure a maximum of six calibration solutions and sample solutions^*3, which reduces measurement time.
