Guided Wave’s Benchtop 508plus is a single-channel version of our popular M508plus process analyzer. The Benchtop 508plus is a fiber optic, UV-Vis spectrometer system packaged for use in either laboratory or pilot plant environments. The small size allows for use in many locations. In monitoring mode, up to 16 parameters may be measured, making it suitable for many applications in chemical and polymer plants, refining and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and other specialty chemicals, paints and varnishes, adhesives, wastewater management, biotech, etc. The software runs on an external computer connected to the analyzer via USB.

Optimized for Guided Wave Sample Interfaces
The probe or flow cell is a crucial component of a complete analyzer system. For optimal performance, the sample interface must be “optically matched” with the analyzer and the optical fibers that transmit light. All of Guided Wave’s sample interfaces are matched to the Benchtop 508plus and fibers to achieve the highest possible performance.
Reliable, Rugged, and Flexible
By partnering with Guided Wave you gain the advantage of 35+ years of experience in online process monitoring and stream sample analysis. Our entire product line is designed and developed to meet the challenges of the most demanding production environments. The Pulsed Xenon source lamp used in the Benchtop 508plus has a lifetime lasting over two years.
