With the PURITY CONCEPT V SIKORA offers a semi- automated innovative laboratory testing device, which convinces especially by its intuitive operation and fast, precise analysis. 1 minute, the PURITY CONCEPT V does not need longer to generate a complete evaluation includ- ing test certificate. The operator places the sample material to be tested on the sample tray and presses the start button. It doesn't matter whether plastic pellets, flakes or test plates as well as black specks, color contamination, white spots or discolorations shall be examined. The system does the rest by itself: The material is scanned, analyzed and contaminants as small as 50 µm are detected. The test certificate, generated by mouse click, contains all information about size, number and type of contamination, as well as an im- age gallery of all detected contaminants. Documen- tation and material release have never been so easy. All detected impurities are marked on the scan im- age and highlighted in parallel on the sample tray. The operator can zoom in and out of the monitor im- age as desired and click on individual contaminants. These are localized on the sample tray by crosshairs so that contamination can be separated easily, e.g. for further examination. Even afterwards, the op- erator can re-read the data material and repeat the analysis as often as he wishes with changing para- meters. This ensures reliable results.
