The YOKO-3000 TLC Scanner manual provides an overview, features, technical specifications, and operating instructions for the thin‑layer chromatography scanner.
The YOKO-3000 thin‑layer chromatography (TLC) scanner is designed for pharmaceutical, biotech and research laboratories. It combines a gas‑lamp/tungsten lamp light source, a holographic grating monochromator, a movable X‑Y platform and a photomultiplier detector to perform reflection, fluorescence and absorption measurements on TLC plates.
Key features include a continuous UV‑visible spectrum, high‑resolution 1200 lines/mm grating, USB data transfer, full computer control, and automatic feedback compensation. The instrument supports Windows 2000/XP and offers a scanning speed of 50 mm/s with a platform size up to 200 mm × 200 mm. This manual is written in Chinese.
