Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport for 8453 & 8454 Spectrophotometers
The Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport is an accessory for the Agilent 8453 and 8454 UV-Visible Spectrophotometers. The multicell transport cell holder holds eight cells in a rack which can be held at a constant temperature with water circulated from a thermostatic bath (provided by the user). The holder is attached to the multicell transport base which contains a stepper motor to move the designated cell into the optical path. A water-driven magnetic stirrer (not included) can be fitted under the holder in one of two positions, either under the cell in the optical path, or under the cell to the left of the cell in the optical path.
The outside dimensions of individual cells must be 12.5 × 12.5 mm and the height from base of the cell to the sample area 15 mm. During an analysis, the position of individual cells is maintained by a flat spring inside each of the cell compartments. The spring alone fixes the cell and no additional fixing mechanism is needed. The Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport for 8453 and 8454 Spectrophotometers can be controlled by any Agilent Technologies UV-visible operating software, having revision A.05.xx or higher, through the accessory interface of the spectrophotometer. Please Note: The Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport is not compatible with older Hewlett-Packard Spectrophotometers such as the HP 8450, HP 8451, and HP 8452A.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport for 8453 & 8454 Spectrophotometers includes:
