In all types of laboratory testing, manufacturing, processing, and research applications, all components of each process must be carefully controlled to ensure accurate and consistent results.
This means testing all components before and during a process. Components such as water, which can also be a waste product in the process, may also need to be tested after use. Having the correct water analyzer instrument ensures the right testing ability as needed based on the research, clinical, diagnostic, process, or testing requirements of the application.
Scope of Use
Selecting a versatile water analyzer instrument is a cost-effective choice, allowing the equipment to be used in a variety of processes and applications. Different models may range from basic to advanced or premium, with each model offering different upgrades and standard features.
Considering the current use for the instrument in the facility as well as future requirements helps to limit the need to purchase multiple water testing meters over time. Some of the top meters offer logs of recent calibrations and the option to time and date stamp and store thousands of measurement sets with sample ID and measured parameters.
The Reputation of the Manufacturer
Taking the time to research the manufacturer is an essential part of the purchase process. Look for an established brand with a top reputation for easy calibration and simplified testing and analysis configuration and use. Intuitive and user-friendly controls, including meter memory for settings, are also essential considerations.
Review the information on the use of the water analyzer instrument. This information should be readily available online, allowing a full understanding of the operation of the meter.
