The HI 9828 multiparameter meter with GPS receiver monitors up to 13 different water quality parameters (6 measured, 7 calculated).  Measurements include pH, pH/mV, ORP, % saturation DO, mg/L DO, EC, absolute EC, resistivity, TDS, salinity, seawater specific gravity, atmospheric pressure and temperature.

The HI 9828 has a graphic, backlit LCD that automatically sizes the digits to fit the screen and allows full configuration of each parameter measured along with on-screen graphing capability. The meter incorporates comprehensive GLP features and the downloading of data via USB connection.

Each parameter is supported by on-screen context sensitive help, both in the calibration mode and during measurement.

Designed for outdoor environments, the meter is impact resistant and waterproof meeting IP67 standards (30 minutes immersion under 1 m of water). The multi-sensor probe can be left underwater in accordance with IP68 standards.

HI 769828 Multiparameter, Intelligent Probe

HANNA’s HI 769828 multiparameter probe incorporates a built-in microprocessor and amplifier that convert the high impedance signals from the sensors of the probe to eliminate common problems such as cable length limitations and noise associated with high impedance signals.

This allows the probe to have a reliable communication with the meter and also immediately warns the user of problems such as a broken cable. The standard cable lengths of the probe are 4, 10 and 20 meters (13, 32 and 64 feet) and custom lengths are also available.

The probe also features HANNA’s Quick Calibration which allows the user to calibrate pH and conductivity with one solution in a single, simple step. Dissolved oxygen is also calibrated in  one step in saturated air. The probe houses 5 of the 6 measured parameters: pH, ORP, EC,  dissolved oxygen and temperature. The sensors are all independently replaceable and are easy to maintain and keep clean. The sensors are protected by an outer PVC/stainless
steel sleeve and cap which is suitable for use in 2” wells. The probe housing complies with IP68 standard.

Sensor replacement is quick and easy with screw type connectors and color coded sensors.

The Galvanic DO sensor does not require polarization time so it’s ready at a moment’s notice.

The 4-ring conductivity system ensures stable conductivity readings that are immune to surface coating. Absolute conductivity, temperature corrected conductivity, salinity, specific gravity and TDS determinations are possible with measurements from this sensor.

The HI 9828 automatically recognizes the presence of either the pH or pH/ORP sensor.
Both sensors have a cloth junction which allows greater sensitivity, and are gel filled for improved resistance to contamination.

The meter also displays pH in mV readings—ideal for troubleshooting.

Fast Tracker™—Tag Identification System

HANNA’s Fact Tracker™—Tag Identification System simplifies test logging. iButton®s with a unique ID can be installed at various sampling sites. When the matching connector on the meter contacts the location button, measurements are logged and labeled with the alphanumeric user-entered location ID. Location, date, time and measurements are logged into the meter which can be transferred to a PC. The Fast Tracker™ system complements the GPS for ultimate tracking.

iButton^® Tags are Easy to Install

Install the optional TAGs near your sampling points for quick and easy iButton® Hanna HI 9828 readings. Each TAG contains a computer chip with a unique identification code encased in stainless steel. You can install a practically unlimited amount of TAGs. Additional TAGs can be ordered for all of your traceability requirements.

Shimadzu UV-1800

UV-VIS Spectrophotometers

Designed in accordance with the governing Japanese and European Pharmacopoeia, the new UV-1800 UV-VIS spectrophotometer achieves a resolution of 1 nm, the highest in its class, in a compact design. Offering an array of user-friendly features, the UV-1800 can be used as either a stand-alone or as a PC-controlled instrument.

Features

High resolution 
Featuring the highest resolution in its class* (1 nm), the UV-1800 easily satisfies the standards of wavelength resolution demanded by the European Pharmacopoeia. Additionally, using a blazed, holographic grating with a Czerny-Turner mount results in a compact, high-throughput optical system. Stray light, wavelength repeatability and baseline stability have also been advanced to meet user requirements.
(*As of March 2007, according to Shimadzu research.)

Compact
Only 450 mm wide, the UV-1800 is one of the most compact instruments in its class, allowing installation in tight spaces. In comparison to the UV-1700, the required space has decreased by about 15%, and the width has narrowed by about 20%.

User Friendly 
USB memory can be connected directly to the UV-1800. Users can now analyze data on a PC using UVProbe software. In addition, data for spectra and time-course curves can be displayed and saved with commercial spreadsheet software. Printing is possible to printers that support PCL control codes, e.g:

• HP Business Inkjet 1200
• HP Photosmart D5160

Using UVProbe software, provided standard with this instrument, makes it possible to control the UV-1800 with a PC. (A USB cable is required for connection to the PC.)

Security functions

Enabling the UV-1800 security functions makes it possible to restrict functions according to the user level.

Instrument validation functions

The UV-1800 offers compatibility with 9 JIS items. Wavelength accuracy, wavelength repeatability, resolution, stray light, photometric accuracy, photometric repeatability, baseline flatness, baseline stability, noise level.

Maintenance

The operating time of the deuterium (D2) lamp and the halogen (WI) lamp can be recorded and displayed. Consequently, the expected replacement period of the lamps can be ascertained when performing periodic inspections, minimizing downtime.

Measuring Modes

Equipped with a variety of measurement modes as standard in a stand-alone instrument, the UV-1800 enables you to perform a range of applications, including photometrics and protein quantitation.

Photometric Mode

Measures the absorbance or transmittance at a single wavelength or at multiple (up to eight) wavelengths. In multiple-wavelength measurement, calculations can be performed on the data obtained for up to four wavelengths, including the calculation of the difference between, or ratio of, the measurements obtained for two wavelengths.

Spectrum Mode

Obtains sample spectra using wavelength scanning. Changes in the sample can be tracked using repeated scans. Data processing operations, such as the enlargement or reduction of the spectra obtained, peak detection, and area calculations, are also possible.

Quantitation Mode

Generates a calibration curve from standard samples, and uses it to calculate the concentrations of unknown samples. Various combinations of wavelengths (1 to 3 wavelengths and derivatives) and calibration curves (K-factor and first-to-third order regression calibration curves) are possible.

Kinetics Mode

Measures the change in absorbance as a function of time, and thereby obtains enzymatic activity values. The kinetics measurement method or the rate measurement method can be selected. Using this mode in combination with an MMC-1600/1600C multi-cell holder (8/16 series multi-cell) or a CPS-240A cell positioner (6 cells) enables the consecutive analysis of multiple samples.

Biomethod Mode (provided as standard)

Capable of analyzing DNA and proteins using the following quantitation methods.

• Nucleic Acid Quantitation- Quantitates DNA or protein using the absorbance at 260/230 nm or 260/280 nm.
• Protein Quantitation
• Lowry method
