Apera TN480 Portable Infrared Turbidity Meter with GLP Data Logger, ISO 7027 Compliant
Product Description
The Apera TN480 Portable Infrared Turbidity Meter is designed for water quality professionals requiring high-accuracy turbidity measurement compliant with ISO 7027 standards. Utilizing an infrared light source at a 90° scattering angle, this turbidity analyzer is ideal for colored solutions, ensuring precise analysis for environmental monitoring, bioprocessing, and molecular diagnostics workflows.
Key technical features include:
- TruRead measurement mode: automatically performs multiple consecutive readings, calculating average, minimum, and maximum turbidity values, providing reliable data for samples with rapid sedimentation and dynamic turbidity changes.
- AMCO high-molecular polymer turbidity standards: supplied calibration solutions (0, 20, 100, 400, 800 NTU) are EPA-approved, NIST-traceable, non-toxic, and stable, critical for consistent instrument calibration in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical quality control.
- Zero turbidity error reminder: includes zero-point calibration and error alerts to maintain accuracy in low-turbidity samples, important for sensitive molecular cloning environments and synthetic biology research applications.
- User interface: large TFT color screen with multilingual support (English, Spanish, Chinese) guides operators through calibration and measurement, enhancing usability in clinical diagnostics and environmental biotechnology labs.
- Data management: stores up to 200 datasets with USB output for PC connection (Windows-based), real-time clock display, calibration date verification, automatic power off, and low battery notifications, facilitating robust GLP-compliant laboratory workflows.
- Durable field kit: rugged carrying case contains all necessary accessories, including sample vials, silicone oil, microfiber wipe, PC-Link software flash drive, and user manual, making it well-suited for on-site water quality testing in biomanufacturing and environmental research.
This turbidity meter is widely adopted in water quality assessments, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics where reliable, portable turbidity measurement supports bioprocess monitoring and molecular diagnostics critical to biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
