Description
The HI83303 benchtop photometer is engineered for aquaculture and laboratory professionals who require accurate monitoring of water chemistry to maintain healthy ecosystems and optimize production. It measures critical parameters such as alkalinity, calcium, nitrite, phosphate, and pH, which are vital for controlling pH fluctuations, supporting fish growth, preventing nitrite toxicity, and managing nutrient levels to avoid algal blooms. Its digital pH electrode inputuses a microchip-enabled electrode, allowing easy swapping without recalibration, and the built-in thermistor ensures automatic temperature compensation for precise pH readings.
The optical system of the HI83303 combines LED light sources, high-quality narrow band interference filters, a beam splitter, reference detector, and a focusing lens to maximize light efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability. The photometer features a 25 mm cuvette path length, reducing errors even with low absorbance samples, and allows users to employ CAL Check cuvettes or create custom absorbance vs. concentration plots for teaching and research. Additional features include a backlit graphic LCD with virtual keys, reaction timer, data logging, USB connectivity, and rechargeable battery operation, making it a versatile, all-in-one solution for water quality analysis in aquaculture and laboratory settings.
