Hach SL1000 Portable Parallel Analyser (PPA)
SL1000 Portable Parallel Analyser (PPA)
Water quality testing. Dramatically streamlined.
The new Hach SL1000 Portable Parallel Analyser (PPA) performs common water tests with less than half the manual steps. It produces highly accurate results with less opportunity for errors in a fraction of the time and allows for up to six parameters to be tested simultaneously.
Benefits
Less variability
Avoid manual steps that can introduce variability, even when performed by experienced testers. Automation and internal temperature control make the entire process consistent and repeatable, while applying the same processes and reagents as current Hach methods.
Less headache
A single instrument combines colorimetric and electrochemical testing in a field kit that requires fewer bulky accessories. There are no powder pillows or glass vials to handle. All chemicals and processes are entirely contained inside the Chemkey.
Faster testing
Perform up to four colorimetric and two probe-based measurements in parallel, and complete the entire test suite in 25% of the time. Improve efficiency by completing more tests on site with faster results.
Chemkey technology
Chemkey reagents contain the same chemicals and execute the same process steps that you have trusted for decades - now delivered in a simple, self-contained package. EPA-approved for reporting of Free and Total Chlorine in drinking water applications.
