Key features of the Iris

The Iris is designed to be user-friendly, practical and accurate in a wide range of environments, from the benchtop to the field. Some of the key features of this visible light spectrophotometer include:

Time-saving functionalities

Automatic recognition of vials

When combined with Hanna 13 mm barcode reagent vials, the HI-802 Iris Spectrophotometer can automatically recognise vials placed within the instrument, bypassing the need to navigate to a specific parameter. This time-saving feature provides a faster workflow for large volumes of measurements, allowing for seamless testing.

Store the zero

Hanna’s Iris spectrophotometer allows you to store an electronic zero following the measurement of a blank, providing stable readings without the need to repeatedly utilise the blank between each test. This convenient approach with a shared single zero makes batch testing easier and faster, improving overall efficiency.

Easy-to-use favourites system

A favourites system is built into the Iris user interface, providing an easy process for the fast selection of frequently used methods. Hanna’s experts provide support to pre-program the Iris with specific methods for our customers, enabling the Iris to be used immediately out of the box without additional setup requirements. 

Exceptional accuracy

256 readings with full vial rotation

The HI-802 Iris spectrophotometer features complete vial rotation when combined with compatible 13 mm Hanna reagent vials. 256 total readings are taken in each measurement utilising an average function, providing a high degree of accuracy in measurement. Pre-programmed and custom methods are both compatible with averaging.  

Comprehensive spectral range

A wide spectral range from 340 nm to 900 nm covers a comprehensive spectral range of visible light. The Iris can be utilised to test a wide array of parameters within this range, making this spectrophotometer a cost-effective and compact all-in-one solution for measurement within common laboratory and field applications.

Pre-programmed and custom curves

Over 100 methods are available for the Iris spectrophotometer from Hanna, with a wide range of common and niche applications programmed directly into the Iris for immediate use on delivery. Our experts can support you in programming custom curves and methods to suit your application requirements in addition to populating the favourite functionality.

Practical for everyday use

Full portability for up to 3,000 measurements

Hanna’s spectrophotometer is equipped with a lithium-ion battery, making this versatile instrument as functional in the field as it is on a benchtop in a laboratory. Up to 3,000 measurements can be completed before a recharge is required, providing excellent flexibility for environmental measurements of parameters. 

Compact, space-saving design

The compact size and small footprint enable the Iris to be easily carried for on-site applications in an appropriate bag or backpack. The Iris has a cubic design, which allows this spectrophotometer to fit into a smaller space on a benchtop. The lithium-ion battery means the Iris does not have to be placed directly next to power at all times for greater flexibility in movement.

No software required for use

The Iris spectrophotometer from Hanna does not require specific software to access data. Instead, data is exported in a universal .csv or .pdf format that is accessible through a wide range of devices. A USB drive can be utilised to transfer data, or the Iris can be connected directly to a PC or Mac. Up to 9,999 data points can be stored in the Iris before transfer, providing a large capacity for extensive field testing.
