qX2x2/EVO
Dual, air-cooled, Peltier-control for the Evolution 300 and 600 SpectrophotometersThe qX2x2/EVO is a pair of cuvette holders providing independent Peltier temperature control for both the sample and reference cuvettes in the Thermo Scientific™ Evolution™ 300 or 600 Spectrophotometers. One cuvette holder is mounted in the sample beam of the spectrophotometer and the other in the reference beam. Utility connections run down in the front of the instrument through slots provided for this purpose. Use the qX2x2/EVO to set and maintain precise sample and reference temperatures, and stir at steady reproducible rates, while bathing the cuvettes in a controlled gaseous environment. Although dependent on rapid, precise Peltier technology, no circulating water is required for normal operation from 0 °C to 110 °C. Purchase the low temperature option, consisting of a windowed vest and capability for liquid cooling, and operate the qX2x2/EVO from 0 °C down to -30 °C. Purchase the extended temperature option to extend operation above 110 °C to 150 °C. Control the qX2x2/EVO, using the TC 1B/Dual Temperature Controller included in the purchase price. For additional control and temperature monitoring, use Quantum Northwest’s computer control software, T-App, available for purchase.
