EUTECH BENCHTOP PH MODEL AB 150Product Overview:
The Eutech AB 150 bench meter is designed for laboratories that require a basic, accurate, and easy-to-use pH/mV instrument while offering exceptionally high accuracy and resolution. This model is part of the Fisher Scientific accumet AB series, offering advanced features in a compact and affordable package. The AB 150 measures pH, mV (ORP/Redox), and Temperature.
High-Precision Measurement CapabilitiesThe AB 150 delivers consistently reliable performance across its core measurement parameters:
• Exceptional Accuracy: The meter provides a high accuracy of $\pm0.002$ pH $+ 1$ LSD.• Selectable Resolution: Users can choose resolutions down to $0.001$ pH.• ORP/Redox Measurement: The meter features $\pm2000.0$ mV range for relative mV and standard mV measurement, allowing calibration to a Redox/ORP standard or use for pH electrode diagnostics (mV offset up to $\pm150$ mV).
• Temperature Compensation: Measurements benefit from automatic or manual temperature compensation, covering a range from $0$ to $100 \text{ ºC}$ ($32$ to $212 \text{ ºF}$).Enhanced Usability and DesignThe AB 150 incorporates several features aimed at improving laboratory workflow and usability:
• Intuitive Interface: The meter features easy-to-understand prompts and a clear graphic LCD with an adjustable backlight. The display allows users to toggle between showing detailed calibration data or a collapsed view showing the main reading with temperature
.• Flexible Operation: The meter offers optional wall-mounting capability to save bench space.
• Electrode Management: The system includes automatic recognition of buffer sets, supporting USA, NIST, DIN, and FSCI standards, along with options for calibration using custom pH buffer values. It displays the electrode slope (up to 5 different slopes with offset) for comprehensive diagnostic checks.•
Stirring Capability: The meter is compatible with the optional Fisher Scientific accumet Benchtop Stirring Probe, which provides mixing without requiring magnetic stir bars or stir plates, thus saving valuable bench space.Data Management and GLP ComplianceThe AB 150 is equipped with robust data logging and regulatory features:• Memory: The meter stores up to $500$ viewable data sets.• Data Logging: Data logging can be performed manually or at timed intervals (selectable from $3$ to $3600$ seconds). The output can be generated in Printer or CSV format.•
GLP Features: It records Date and Time to meet GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) standards.• Alarms and Security: Features include optional password protection, selectable Calibration Due Alarms (from $8$ hrs, $16$ hrs, & $1$-$31$ days), and High/Low Alarms (user selectable, visual & audible, parameter based).• Connectivity: The instrument provides RS-232 (phono plug) and mini-B USB output ports. The software is upgradable.
