Product Description
Apera Instruments 400S Series
Advanced Portable Meter Kits with GLP Data Management
The Apera Instruments 400S Series builds upon the rugged foundation of the standard 400 Series by introducing advanced digital processing, comprehensive GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) data management, and expanded analytical parameters. Engineered for environmental scientists, water treatment engineers, and quality control professionals who require strict data traceability in the field, these portable meters seamlessly bridge the gap between durable handheld construction and sophisticated benchtop-level analytics.
The defining feature of the 400S Series is its integrated data logging capability. The internal memory system allows users to store hundreds of data groups—complete with time and date stamps, measurement values, and calibration data. Utilizing the built-in USB output and included PC software, operators can effortlessly download field records to a computer for analysis, auditing, and secure archiving. Furthermore, the EC400S and PC400S models expand measurement capabilities to include critical industrial parameters such as Salinity and Resistivity, providing a more comprehensive profile of the water matrix.
Despite its advanced digital features, the 400S Series maintains exceptional physical durability. Encased in an IP57 waterproof and dustproof housing with an anti-slip silicone sleeve, these meters are built to survive harsh field environments. Each model is supplied as a fully equipped field kit inside a heavy-duty carrying case, complete with the meter, analytical probes, PC software, a USB cable, and all necessary calibration solutions.
