Choosing the right portable meter based on your parameter monitoring needs

The health of our environment depends on how well we can monitor water quality to reduce vulnerability and potentially avoid harmful pollutants. In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific discusses the importance of choosing the correct portable meter to use out in the field to record accurate analysis of common environmental pollutants. The Thermo Scientific™ Orion™ A320 Series portable meters offer multiparameter capabilities. The data log collects and date/time-stamps up to 5000 measurement sets with sample ID and user ID for reliable data tracking, and the free Orion Star Com software facilitates data transfer to a computer via USB or RS232 connections. For monitoring the more complex pollutants there are the AQUAfast™ Colorimeters and Turbidity Meters, that can be used in the plant, field or laboratory, and can be used in markets such as drinking water, wastewater, food and beverage, aquaculture, and agriculture.
