Product Description
Apera Instruments PH60Z LabSen Series
Smart Application-Specific pH Tester Kits
The Apera Instruments PH60Z LabSen Series represents the pinnacle of specialized, portable pH measurement for professional and industrial applications. Built upon the powerful ZenTest Bluetooth platform, these smart pocket testers interface directly with your smartphone or tablet. This seamless integration empowers laboratory technicians, industrial operators, and environmental researchers to monitor readings in real-time, execute complex multi-point calibrations with step-by-step visual guidance, and automatically log delicate measurement data to the cloud. By digitizing the workflow, the ZenTest app ensures comprehensive Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliance, total traceability, and eliminates manual transcription errors.
What distinguishes the PH60Z series from standard pocket meters is its integration of Apera's premium LabSen® electrode technology. Standard glass pH probes often fail, clog, or drift rapidly when exposed to challenging analytical matrices like viscous cosmetics, raw meat, hydrofluoric acid, or ultra-pure water. To solve this critical limitation, each kit in the PH60Z series is equipped with a highly specialized LabSen® probe engineered for a specific environment. By utilizing customized glass membrane formulations (such as low alkaline error or HF-resistant glass) and specialized reference junctions, these meters guarantee rapid stabilization and uncompromising accuracy where conventional probes simply cannot survive. Each model is supplied as a complete, ready-to-use kit, designed for optimal storage at ambient room temperatures (15–25°C).
