Waterproof photometer

Palintest has introduced a fully featured, portable photometer for water analysis.

The 7100 replaces the company''s Photometer 5000 and enables instrumental analysis of an extensive range of water tests. It is highly portable, fully waterproof, floats and is rugged.

The photometer is fully integrated with the range of Palintest water tests and uses light to measure colour changes in water samples treated with a reagent. It is accurate to &plusmn0.005 at 0.3 absorbency units (au) and resolution is 0.001 au.

The sample is placed in the adaptive cell holder and a button pressed. The cell holder automatically adjusts to any round tube size.

The device features automatic light wavelength selection for each pre-programmed test method. It has easy-to-navigate menus and the software also remembers the most recent tests.

Sealed to IP67, the unit runs on standard AA batteries. The photometer is available in two kits - standard and engineers (designed specifically for mobile water service engineers).
