PTW10010
Ideally suited to longer term surveillance and professional monitoring, the Potalab provides portable analysis of a wide and comprehensive range of key drinking water quality parameters where the most important factor is to obtain laboratory levels of accuracy:
- High capacity microbiological analysis – dual incubators with independent temperature control for simultaneous determination of up to 40 samples for thermotolerant or faecal coliforms and total coliforms
- Advanced physico-chemical analysis - includes the Photometer 7500, Turbimeter Plus, Palintest Arsenator and electrochemical meters for pH and conductivity/TDS
- Versatile and flexible – suitable for use in the laboratory, as a makeshift central water laboratory or as an entirely self-contained field kit with independent power
- Supplied with consumables and parts sufficient for processing/analysing 200 samples. For replacement consumables and accessories, download the Wagtech brochure in the Resources section to view the details and obtain the relevant ordering codes.
