Product Description
Apera Instruments 910/950 Value Series
Benchtop Meter Kits for Laboratory Analysis
The Apera Instruments 910 and 950 Value Series represent a robust and highly efficient solution for routine laboratory water quality analysis. Designed specifically for educational institutions, industrial quality control labs, and general-purpose analytical environments, these benchtop meters provide reliable, professional-grade measurements of critical parameters, including pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Salinity. By focusing on essential analytical capabilities, the Value Series ensures precise data acquisition without the complexity of over-engineered systems, streamlining daily laboratory workflows.
The product line is divided into two structural configurations to meet different workstation needs. The 910 Series offers a classic, space-saving benchtop footprint ideal for standard testing protocols where basic meter functionality is required. In contrast, the upgraded 950 Series features the integration of Apera's innovative "TestBench" system. This comprehensive workstation enhancement provides a structured, highly organized platform for holding the meter, managing multiple electrodes, and organizing calibration solutions simultaneously, significantly reducing bench clutter and improving handling safety during complex testing routines.
Both series are supplied as comprehensive, ready-to-use kits. Depending on the selected variant, the systems are equipped with the analytical meters, corresponding measurement electrodes, and necessary accessories to begin operation immediately. The multi-parameter configurations (PC910 and PC950) are particularly valuable for laboratories requiring simultaneous or sequential testing of pH and Conductivity/TDS from a single, centralized analytical station.
