Turtle-X1 Modular Platform

Modular spectrophotometer platform

Product Description The Turtle-X1 is formed by the mechanical, optical, and electrical connection of the APS-1623W (acting as an intelligent light source) and the APS-1623W-LC (Liquid Cuvette Module). This modularity allows users to transform a handheld scanner into a sophisticated desktop liquid analysis system.

Key Features

  • Cuvette Compatibility: Equipped with holders for 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm pathlength cuvettes.
  • Flexible Setup: Includes a sliding lid for the cuvette compartment to ensure light-tight measurements.
  • High Performance: Optimized for high-precision spectral measurements with an excellent price-to-performance ratio.

Technical Specifications (Platform)

  • Assembled Dimensions: 245 mm x 165 mm x 115 mm.
  • Assembled Weight: 1.150 kg.
  • Operating Environment: 10 to 40°C with up to 80% relative humidity.

Ordering & Package Information

  • Turtle-X1 Platform (Ordering Code: Turtle-X1): Includes the APS-1623W handheld unit and the APS-1623W-LC module.
  • Calibration Set (Ordering Code: APS-1623W-CS): Includes a White Calibration Etalon and a Calibration Module (CM).
  • Accessories: Standard package includes a carrying case, USB interface/charging cable, and a USB drive containing PC software and documentation.

Software & Operational Excellence

Intuitive Control Interface The system is controlled via a dedicated Graphics User Interface (GUI) that allows users to:

  • Visualize Spectra: Real-time graphical display with zoom, clear, and record functions.
  • Manage Data: Export measurements in .db or .csv formats for advanced statistical processing.
  • Customize Measurements: Adjust the number of scans, the order of wavelength channels, and excite samples using specific wavelengths via Modulation mode.

Best Practices for High Precision

  • Warm-up Time: For stable operation, the device requires a tempering time of 30 to 45 minutes after being powered on.
  • Calibration Reminders: The built-in thermometer monitors internal temperature; a change of 0.5 degrees triggers a software reminder to re-calibrate.
  • Maintenance: Optical surfaces should be cleaned only with alcohol-free optics wipes to maintain integrity.
