Product Description
Apera Instruments 700 Series
Application-Specific Benchtop Laboratory Meter Kits
The Apera Instruments 700 Series provides a comprehensive, highly reliable, and economical solution for standard and specialized benchtop water quality analysis. Anchored by a reliable meter architecture featuring a large, easy-to-read LCD and 1- to 3-point automatic calibration, this series is designed to deliver consistent performance across a multitude of laboratory environments. While the base models (PH700 and EC700) are engineered for general aqueous solutions, the true strength of the 700 Series lies in its highly targeted, application-specific variants.
Understanding that complex matrices—such as viscous cosmetics, hydrofluoric acid, dense wastewater, or micro-volume biological samples—frequently cause standard sensors to fail, Apera has paired the robust 700 Series meter with specialized LabSen® electrodes. These tailored kits eliminate the guesswork of sensor selection, ensuring maximum accuracy, rapid stabilization times, and prolonged electrode lifespan regardless of the chemical or physical challenges presented by the sample.
Every 700 Series variant is supplied as a complete, ready-to-deploy kit. Out of the box, the system includes the benchtop meter, the specified analytical electrode, an articulated electrode arm/stand for secure probe positioning, and the essential calibration buffers required to initiate immediate laboratory testing.
