- Programmable Light and Dark Cycles - Programmable Irradiance with Variable Set Points - Programmable Test Duration in Hours/Minutes - Chiller unit with integrated control - Auto-Cal Irradiance System to ensure accurate Irradiance Settings - 1 Xenon Arc Lamp - Calibration Equipment for quick and easy user calibration (e.g. irradiance smart sensor). - Glass test tube holders and corresponding, appropriate sample tray
Equipment must be provided along with all additional items, fixtures and fittings required to make the equipment fully operational for the purposes it is required, taking into consideration:
- All equipment will be supplied as new from high quality respected manufacturers and suppliers - Can meet the specification guaranteed to satisfy the requirements detailed in Schedule 1 - Where possible all equipment shall be commercially available 'off the shelf' systems. - All equipment must be designed to operate in the conditions under which it will be used, including (but not limited to) potential exposure to water and high temperatures for survey equipment.
