Lovibond MD100 Photometer Total Suspended Solids
The MD 100 photometer is a convenient choice for testing up to 14 parameters on a single instrument, depending on the combination. The instrument has a simple user interface and is constructed for field use. Several industry specific versions are available the combine all the tests you need.
Applications: Drinking Water/Raw Water Treatment/ Wastewater Treatment
The MD 100 Suspended Solids meter measures from 0-750 mg/l without additional reagents. It is ideal for analysis of treated and final effluents, or a cost effective alternative to the traditional gravimetric method. A simple button layout, robust waterproof design and large backlit display make the MD 100 easy to use and ideal for testing in the field, laboratory or plant room.
The units supply accurate, reproduceable results using high quality interference filters with long-life LEDs as a light source. Tests are conducted using Lovibond® tablet reagents which give long-term stability and a guaranteed minimum 5 or 10 year shelf life. VARIO powder reagents or liquid reagents can also be used.
Test results are automatically stored with time and date for later review, and can also be downloaded to a PC using an additional Infra Red interface.
