Comparison: DR5000 vs DR6000

Spectrophotometers

Future-proof your
investment with
added benefits
If you are using the older DR5000 spectrophotometers, chances are that you are happy with it as it still delivers accurate
and reliable results. Unfortunately it is not possible to repair them anymore, and you risk not being able to perform your
analysis should your photometer break. Replacing the DR5000 with DR6000 is therefore a good preventive investment in
the future and will give you a wealth of new benefits.
