NOTE: The Spectrum Two N spectrometer is usable within 15 minutes of being switched on
after being switched off overnight. However, if your instrument has recently been
transferred from a much colder environment, it is advisable to run a background
spectrum before every sample for the first couple of hours of use.

Portability

The compact and robust design of the Spectrum Two N means that the instrument can be
easily transferred between environments. The simple user-installation, and fast warm-up
time, means that the instrument can be set up quickly. The range of accessories available
help you to move your analysis out of the laboratory. Optional wireless connectivity enables
portable PC control, and the multiple power options enable you to use your spectrometer
with, or without, external mains power (Figure 7).
