The 2700-series meters feature superior, oversized displays with a bright backlight and dynamic stability indicator. The meters conveniently stamp all calibration and stored data with the time and date, meeting GLP requirements. Their nonvolatile memory stores and recalls up to 500 sets of data―simplifying the process of documenting large volumes of measurement. Advanced setup options enable user customization for added flexibility. Users can also program data logging intervals for continuous monitoring. Programmable limit alarm sounds off when readings fall out of range.

The Oakton pH 2700 meters have an expanded pH range from -2.000 to 20.000 with improved accuracy of +/- 0.002 pH and a resolution of 0.001 pH. Other models in the series are available to measure ion concentration, conductivity/TDS, pH/conductivity/TDS, and dissolved oxygen.

Proper water pH is arguably one of the most critical aspects of maintaining correct swimming pool chemistry. Many articles describe how to properly maintain your pool chemistry and pH levels, so this post won’t detail how to manage your pool chemistry. Instead, think of this as a public service reminder to consider the importance of pool pH and take steps to check your swimming pool’s levels. Add chemicals as appropriate.To determine your pH levels, get a pH testing device from a local pool supply store or hardware store. Cole-Parmer also offers an option for private pool owners or large public swimming pools. Check out our line of pH testing meters.  

Electrode sensors include a clog-resistant Kynar^® junction and a recessed, glass pH bulb to protect against breakage. The keypad clicks to confirm operation, and allows access to a variety of functions. Calibrate up to three pH points with the auto-buffer recognition at both USA and NIST standard buffers. Additional features include automatic temperature compensation (ATC), hold function, auto-off function, self-diagnostic error messages, and a three-segment battery-life indicator.

Oakton IR Thermometer Mini-InfraPro 6 (39641-06)

Cole-Parmer’s products hit the big screen again on CBS’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation – “Sin City Blue,” which aired on January 14th, 2010.  The show featured the Oakton IR Thermometer Mini-InfraPro 6 (39641-06) between minutes 8:24 and 8:35.  The infrared thermometer was used to determine post-mortem body temperature in the morgue. 

Infrared thermometers are ideal for use when objects are extremely hot, moving quickly, difficult to reach or vulnerable to contamination.  Noncontact infrared thermometers use infrared technology to quickly and conveniently measure an objects surface temperature.  They provide fast, accurate, repeatable readings without ever touching the target.  Just aim, pull the trigger, and read the temperature on the LCD.
