Powerful hand-held photometer offers 140 water parameters

The PrimeLab 2.0 is the perfect solution for professional water analysis under laboratory conditions. This is an extremely powerful hand-held photometer that is capable of detecting up to 18 different wavelengths from IR to UV in parallel. More than 140 different water parameters can be determined, with corresponding LEDs positioned at both 180° and 90° to enable NTU turbidity, PTSA and fluorescein measurements. Very narrow peaks between 390 and 950 nm enable highly accurate detection, bringing the device's performance close to that of spectrophotometers. The device's firmware can interpolate between these wavelengths, while some parameter curves are set to use multiple wavelengths for the most accurate test results. 

An 8.400 mAh battery guarantees satisfactory runtimes even when there is no power outlet nearby. By using a high-resolution 5.5-inch colour display with capacitive touch function, the control panel also looks very similar to modern smartphones and can be operated in the same way. The measurement process is shown on the display in a simple step-by-step guide, making it easier for the user to take measurements. The device also has a built-in camera which can be used to scan QR-codes, printed on Water-i.d.® reagent packages. This makes every measurement even more comfortable and prevents user mistakes.

Another key feature of the PrimeLab 2.0 is the option to use various electrochemical probes to also cover electrochemical water parameters such as pH, TDS, electrical conductivity, ORP and, in addition, the temperature of the water being analysed. Thanks to its seamless integration into the existing PrimeLab 2.0 system, it is extremely easy to use. The ProbeBOX 1.0 module can be used to connect electrodes from our portfolio by connecting them to the PrimeLab 2.0 itself or even to any USB-C-supported Android® smartphone or tablet.

All in all, Water-i.d.® has created a very comprehensive package for the photometric determination of water parameters for professional use, which is constantly being expanded to include further parameters. From the measurement process to the export of data for statistical evaluation, there are several options available by using Water-i.d.® products, including the LabCOM® cloud service.
