Hanna Instruments HI-97713C Phosphate Low Range Portable Photometer Kit
HI-97713C kit contains an advanced portable photometer for the measurement of low range phosphate in water.
HI-97713C kit is supplied with a meter, CAL Check cuvette A, CAL check cuvette B for phosphate LR, sample cuvettes (2), sample caps (2), plastic stoppers (2), 1.5 V AA batteries (3), cuvette wiping cloth, scissors, instrument quality certificate, instruction manual and rigid carrying case.
The HI-97713 is an advanced portable photometer for the measurement of low range phosphate in water. This meter offers a superior optical system that utilises a reference detector and narrow band interference filters for extremely fast and repeatable measurements.
Measurement method: Adaptation of the Ascorbic Acid method.
- Range: 0.00 to 2.50 mg/L (as PO43-)
- Advanced LED optical system – LEDs have a much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They also produce little heat, which could otherwise affect electronic stability.
- CAL Check™ - Validate the performance of the instrument at any time and apply a user calibration using CAL Check cuvettes made with NIST traceable standards. The CAL Check screen guides the user step-by-step through the validation process and user calibration.
- Auto logging
- GLP – Review of the last calibration date
- On-screen tutorial mode with animations – the built in tutorial mode guides users step-by-step through the measurement process.
- Waterproof and floating IP67 case
- Auto-shut off – Automatic shut off after 15 minutes of inactivity and 30 minutes before a read measurement.
- Battery status indicator – Indicates the amount of battery life left.
- Built-in timer – Display of time remaining before a measurement is taken. Ensures that all readings are taken at the appropriate reaction intervals for the test being performed.
- Error messages – Messages on display alerting to problems including no cap, high zero, and standard too low.
- Unit of measure – Appropriate unit of measure is displayed along with reading.
