Product Description
Apera Instruments 820 Series
High Precision Benchtop Laboratory Meter Kits
The Apera Instruments 820 Series represents a significant step up in analytical capability, designed for laboratories, research facilities, and quality control centers that require high-precision measurements. Building upon a robust digital architecture, the 820 Series is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy, achieving up to ±0.002 pH and ±0.5% F.S. for conductivity. This level of precision is supported by advanced GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) data management, ensuring that all calibration and measurement records are thoroughly documented, traceable, and easily exportable via USB for strict regulatory compliance.
Beyond digital processing, the physical components of the 820 Series are upgraded to meet high-end laboratory standards. Rather than standard polycarbonate sensors, these kits are typically paired with Apera's premium glass-body electrodes, such as the LabSen series for pH, ensuring rapid response times and minimal cross-contamination in complex matrices. The meters feature a large, backlit LCD screen that simultaneously displays measurements, temperature, and stable reading icons, streamlining the user experience during critical testing protocols.
To ensure immediate operational readiness, every 820 Series model is delivered as a comprehensive, turnkey kit. Each package includes the high-precision benchtop meter, the corresponding premium analytical electrodes, a heavy-duty 602 flexible electrode arm for secure and precise probe placement, PC software for data extraction, and a full suite of calibration standard solutions.
