What should you consider when selecting a benchtop meter?
When it comes to choosing a benchtop meter for your testing needs, there are many factors to think about before making a purchase. From a quality standpoint, benchtop capabilities are extremely important.
Questions start swirling around in your mind such as: How accurate and precise is this benchtop meter? Will this testing equipment meet my parameter and measurement range requirements? Is this benchtop easy for my team to operate? What are the data management and reporting capabilities?
It's essential to get answers to these concerns, so that you can be confident that you are selecting the best benchtop meter for your laboratory or facility. Other aspects to think about include a benchtop's durability, manufacturer support, and of course the cost to get up and running.
Now that we covered some of the criteria you should be looking for in a benchtop meter, let's explore our Multiparameter Modular System. We'll discuss the top 10 product features and benefits, so that you can make an informed buying decision.
1.) Tailor to your testing needs
Top feature:
Our Multiparameter Modular System has a plug-and-play design with four module options to choose from including: pH/ORP, pH/ORP/ISE, EC/TDS, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). This benchtop meter houses three bays in the back of the unit that holds the compatible modules. Users can test one, two, or three parameters at once. These modules are easy to install, swap, and switch out.
How this benefits you:
Well for starters, you can create your own testing experience by mixing and matching virtually any combination of modules. Our Multiparameter Modular System is customizable and gives you complete flexibility with your measurements. You can begin by testing only one parameter like pH and expand to test more later on by adding an EC/TDS or DO module. Alternatively, you can test three different parameters right from the get-go at the same time. The choice is yours. Your benchtop, your way. At the end of the day, no one knows your requirements better than you and our Multiparameter Modular System provides you with the versatility you need.
2.) Save time and maximize productivity
Top feature:
You are able to measure three different parameters simultaneously using just one benchtop.
How this benefits you:
There's no need to wait around for one sample to finish before you can start testing another. Get more done at your facility by measuring three parameters all at once with our Multiparameter Modular System. By cutting down on the time that it takes to test, you can focus on other important tasks and improve your efficiency across your operations.
