Advance is a highly significant addition to MACHEREY
NAGEL’s smart photometry family, which stands out for its incredibly easy and enjoyable handling. The instrument features a colour 5” true-touch display to support the smart menu structure. The capacitive touch function lets you use the instrument even when wearing safety gloves. The Nanocolor®
operation is based on fun and intuition, creating an unrivaled user experience in laboratory as well as during on-site analysis. The versatile Nanocolor®
level for its price segment. The Nanocolor® Advance
Advance combines outstanding usability with premium optics. The photometric accuracy has been improved to 0.003 Abs, an outstanding Advance provides precise and reliable measurement results in the daily laboratory routine. As a spectrophotometer, it covers
the wavelength range from 340 – 800 nm. It is the first photometer from MACHEREY-NAGEL with a 24 mm cuvette slot and thus extends the options for all areas of water analysis to a maximum. The universal cuvette slot fits to 10, 20, 40 and 50 mm standard cells, as well as 16 and 24 mm test tubes. Therefore, the Nanocolor® Advance is the only photometer suitable for all available MACHEREY-NAGEL test kits from the Visocolor®
and Nanocolor® The Nanoncolor® easiest and quickest way. Besides the Nanocolor® product portfolio.
Advance also features the well-known and proven barcode technology to measure MACHEREY NAGEL’s Nanoncolor® tube tests and standard tests, the test kits from MACHEREY NAGEL’s Visocolor®
tube tests in the Eco and Visocolor® Powder
Pillow range can also be evaluated. A comprehensive and easy-to-understand menu for creating customer-specific methods makes the device an all-rounder in water and wastewater analysis. The scan menu enables you to record spectra in the whole wavelength range – a powerful tool to help you choosing the right wavelength for customised methods.
Reliable measurement results are not achieved by coincidence! As a unique feature for the market, the Nanocolor® Advance offers the user automatic
detection of interfering turbidity, the “NTU-Check”. With an 860 nm LED, the instrument determines the nephelometric turbidity for all measurements in a round tube parallel to the measurement. It warns the user of incorrect results caused by turbidity. This option helps you to avoid measuring errors and sets the basis for reliable measurement results – an unmatched safeguard in the field of water analysis. For seamless documentation, the NTU values are stored in the memory, which can be easily exported via the integrated interfaces. You do not need any additional accessories for the data export. Connect a flash drive to the USB port, export data and review the results on a computer. The instrument is designed for use in all manner of surroundings. It is water and dust-proof according to IP 67 and withstands the Military Standard 810H (only 514.8 Cat. 4) vibration test. Its inbuilt lithium ion battery has enough power to cope with a whole week of daily water analysis. This underlines the robustness of the device and its suitability for mobile analysis.
Since MACHEREY-NAGEL is passionate about quality, they have added extensive internal quality control (IQC) functions to the instrument. This enables you to verify your results and the functionality of the instrument conveniently and continuously. All IQC options, such as standard measurements are easily done by integrated methods and are saved and documented within the instrument memory according to GLP. Additionally, the Nanocolor®
Advance features
outstanding internal instrument monitoring options as part of instrument quality control. The inbuilt holmium oxide filter enables a safe wavelength accuracy check and our product Nanoncolor®
Nanocheck 2.0 allows a comprehensive check of the photometric accuracy of the instrument. Therefore, the Nanocolor® Advance provides easy to use quality control functions that meet your requirements and enable an efficient and accurate IQC.
Overall, MACHEREY-NAGEL has launched an instrument that sets new standards for its price segment in terms of innovation and intuitive use. The new Nanocolor®

Speaking the same language as today’s IoT sensors

Over the past 20 years the way that water quality sensors communicate has changed significantly. The new spectro::lyser V3, from s::can sets out to change the water sensor landscape once again by bringing real Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to the field. The implementation of the REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) as the main communication protocol enables direct communication of the spectro::lyser V3 with mobile applications and cloud services.
A lot of manufacturers, nowadays, promote their sensors using the Internet of Things (IoT) terminology. However, what is understood under IoT, is very different from one to the other sensor supplier. Some call the implementation of any type of digital interface on their sensors a leap forward. For us this actually is the past as s::can sets the future pace for implementing sensors directly into any network, local or directly the internet, by integrating the de-facto standard communication interface of modern web applications
into the spectro::lyser V3: Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).
Invented around the year 2000, REST API was broadly adopted the first time when major online market places started to offer this type of communication interface between their servers and third-party developers. Today any major cloud platform such AWS or MS Azure platform has adopted REST API. If for example data is transferred between AWS and any type of external device or even between two software applications running within AWS, data is very likely exchanged using REST API.
The implementation of the Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) therefore enables direct and easy communication of a spectro::lyser V3 with mobile applications and cloud services leading the way into the future of online water quality sensors.
Recent discussions showed that this trend is picked up by big automation companies who see REST API as a possible component in their innovation strategy and most likely as one very important communication interface for their edge computing devices.
Using the REST API of the spectro::lyser V3 makes it as simple as it can get to implement your measurement data including spectral information into any modern cloud service of your choice. Once collected these data can be used to apply advanced AI strategies targeted to the need of end customers such as alarm systems based on distributed sensors in a drinking water network. In any case customers have full control over their data and how it is used.
The way REST API works can be imagined as a user looking up a website on his or her favorite browser. Entering the URL in the address field sends a request to the corresponding webserver which then delivers the website. In the case of the spectro::lyser V3 an app / terminal or cloud solution sends its request to the webserver running on the V3 over the REST API and uses the exact same mechanism (HTTP) if you would open a website. The reply of the V3, however, is not a nice formatted website but measurement data and status information formatted in a machine-readable way (JSON string).
According to James Houle from the University of New Hampshire, “The Python API code to interact with s::can works very well and meets our planned needs for the s::can deployment planned at Roger Williams Park, Providence Rhode Island. The SPV3 driver is very robust and does everything we need to allow us to capture, organise and visualise data.”
Implementing REST API additionally to Modbus as s::can’s main future communication protocol underpins their leading position as a key innovator in online water quality monitoring, simplifies the life of end users and helps them to be two steps ahead of their competition.
