HI772 Marine Alkalinity (dKH) Checker Mini-Photometer HANNA

Alkalinity Checker (up to 20.0 dKH) HI772 - HANNA

Description

The Hanna Seawater Alkalinity (dKH) Checker ® is a good compromise between the choice of simple chemical test kits and professional-quality instrumentation. Chemical test kits have limited accuracy and resolution because they are based on distinguishing color differences perceived by the human eye.

Professional quality instrumentation includes a light source composed of a LED or a tungsten lamp with a filter and a light detector to accurately determine the absorbance and concentration of ions.

Professional tools offer superior resolution and precision, but can cost hundreds of euros. The Checker ® Hanna for Alkalinity in Seawater measures alkalinity in dKH and uses a fixed wavelength LED source and a silicon photodetector to ensure professional instrumentation accuracy at the affordable price of a chemical test kit.

The HI772 Checker® HC (handheld colorimeter) is a simple, accurate, and affordable tool for measuring alkalinity in degrees of calcium hardness, commonly abbreviated as dKH. Alkalinity is one of the most important parameters to keep under control in marine aquariums.

Helps maintain a stable pH, essential for most aquatic species. In seawater, carbonates and bicarbonates determine alkalinity and are critical elements for the health of corals.

Characteristics

- Easier to use and more accurate than chemical test kits
- Dedicated to a single parameter
- Small size, great convenience
- Ideal for: Aquaculture and aquariums, water quality
