5B-3B(V8) Intelligent Multi-Parameter Water Quality Analyzer
- PRODUCT DETAIL
5B-3B(V8) Intelligent Multi-Parameter Water Quality Analyzer
Product Introduction
The 5B-3B(V8) Intelligent Multi-Parameter Water Quality Analyzer is designed for efficient water quality testing across four key parameters: chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and turbidity. It combines multiple measurement functions in one instrument, enabling users to obtain direct readings and manage test data through a large color LCD.
With automatic calibration curve generation, 219 built-in curves, intelligent temperature control for digestion, and storage for up to 12,000 measurement records, the 5B-3B(V8) supports streamlined water quality analysis in laboratories, environmental monitoring departments, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial applications.
Performance Features
• Multi-Parameter Measurement: Measures COD, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and turbidity using one integrated analyzer.
• Large Color LCD: Displays measurement results on a 320 × 240-resolution color screen for convenient operation and data review.
• Automatic Calibration Curves: Calculates and stores calibration curves using standard samples, reducing the need for manual curve creation.
• 219 Built-In Curves: Includes 166 standard curves and 53 regression curves, which can be selected according to testing requirements.
• Large Data Storage Capacity: Stores up to 12,000 measurement records, including test dates, times, instrument parameters, and results.
• Convenient Data Transfer: Supports USB communication and optional infrared wireless transmission for transferring current and historical data to a computer.
• Intelligent Digestion Temperature Control: Automatically adjusts digestion power according to the load and provides delayed protection.
• Professional Reagent Support: Supplied with professional consumable reagents to simplify testing procedures and help improve measurement consistency.
• Flexible Batch Testing: Supports different sample batch capacities depending on the selected measurement parameter.
Working Principle
The 5B-3B(V8) uses parameter-specific analytical methods to measure water quality. COD, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus are measured using colorimetric analysis with compatible colorimetric tubes or cuvettes. Turbidity is measured using a cuvette-based optical method.
For parameters requiring digestion, the instrument works with a digestion process supported by intelligent temperature control. After sample preparation and reaction, the analyzer evaluates the analytical signal, calculates the concentration using the selected calibration curve, and displays the result. Measurement data can then be stored internally or transferred to a computer for further analysis and reporting.
