Overview
A teaching lab or a basic testing bench is where this tabletop meter works, with a combination electrode that reads pH and temperature together. An electrode holder is included, and the unit runs on an external DC supply.
Fine resolution, stored readings and automatic recognition of standard solutions put it a step beyond a pocket pen. The kit includes the electrode holder and premixed buffers. It is a bench instrument, so it stays in one place.
Who it's for
Teachers, students and small labs that test water samples at a bench and want stored data. Growers and pool owners who need to test on site are better served by a pocket model.
Pros and cons
- Fine resolution reading
- Stores readings in groups
- Max and min measuring mode
- Electrode holder included
- Needs an external power supply
- Bench use only
- Electrode warranty is shorter than the meter's
Performance notes
Digital processing and the combination electrode measure pH and temperature at once, and automatic temperature compensation corrects the reading. The meter recognizes the standard buffers during calibration, so setup takes only a few steps. The splash-proof body tolerates a damp bench.
