Product news

With the pHotoFlex and Turb 430 Series, WTW offers a new and innovative instrument line for optical measurements in the field. pHotoFlex Series offers multi-purpose photometers, covering with 6 wavelengths not only almost any chemical parameter in water analysis but also turbidity (photoFlex Turb) and pH measurement with automatic temperature compensation.

If you only want to measure turbidity, the Turb 430 Series comprises an infrared or tungsten version of these new turbidimeters.

All these instruments provide many benefits hitherto usually reserved to lab instruments.

To make the instruments even more suitable for field use, they are now available as complete sets in a practical field case with a particularly user-friendly and innovative small table tray serving as onsite bench. It does not only hold the instrument, but ensures a stable stand for cuvettes, beaker and pH electrode in the field by providing appropriate pits

Depending on the instrument model, the sets come with great many accessories:

For the pHotoFlex models:

  • adjustable pipette with 5 ml volume
  • pH electrode SenTix® 41
  • stand for pH electrode
  • buffer solutions with pH 4.01 and 7.00
  • beaker
  • calibration kit with turbidity standards (pHotoFlex Turb)

For the Turb 430 models:

  • calibration kit with turbidity standards

All sets are completed by empty cuvettes, PC connecting cable, waterproof quick instruction, cleaning tissues etc.

Together with the LabStation and its new software package LSdata the sets offer a complete solution for field and laboratory tasks.

Turb 430 IR – Lab Quality Portable Turbidity Meter

Xylem

Turb 430 IR is a new portable turbidity meter from WTW, designed for use in the measuring range from 0 – 1100 NTU/FNU. Fully compliant to DIN EN 27027/ISO 7027, the instrument is optimized for applications demanding high mobility, e.g. drinking water analysis and process control. Having been developed together with the multi-parameter photometers of the pHotoFlex Series, the Turb 430 IR offers a number of innovations compared to conventional instruments. Robust & Accurate. Innovative new optical design to minimize stray light interference. Precise measurement in the critical range below 1NTU. Calibration interval and protocol Data storage of 1000 values. GLP compliant data export with date, time, and identification number. RS 232 interface LabStation (optional) for exceptional ease of use in lab. AMCO-Clear Standards (0.02–10–1000 NTU) for the automatic 3-point calibration are included in the delivery package. These standards are traceable to Formazine and are accepted as primary standards according to US EPA. The Turb 430 IR is equipped with a rechargeable battery and a universal plug, or alternatively, the user can use the LabStation (optional) with the rechargeable battery set. The LabStation effectively makes the Turb 430 IR a small benchtop instrument.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners. Find the best electrophoresis equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.pH and Conductivity MetersIon and pH meters, used for electrochemical techniques and measurements, measure the concentration of specific ions using electrodes (probes) and a meter. Features of ph and ion meters to consider include temperature compensation, auto-calibration, adjustable resolution, measurable range and accuracy. Meters can be handheld, portable, benchtop and modular.
