The Apera TN480 is a premium version of the TN400 turbidity meter.
The instrument is designed for water quality professionals, offering long-term reliability in high-accuracy turbidity measurement with an intuitive operating system, simple calibration, and GLP data management.
Apera TN480 uses an infrared light source and 90° scattering method, which is compliant with the ISO 7027 method. The instrument is designed for water quality professionals, offering long-term reliability in high-accuracy turbidity measurement with an intuitive operating system, simple calibration, and GLP data management.
Automatically takes multiple consecutive readings, and calculate the average, minimum and maximum value, as well as displaying each set of data in a brief test report. TruRead is a much better way to determine the true turbidity of your samples, rather than relying on just one reading. It's especially suitable for sample solutions with rapid settling and continuous measurement changes.
200 sets of data storage with USB data output to PC (Windows-based only)
The zero-point calibration and zero-point error reminder functions ensure the high accuracy for low-turbidity (<1 NTU) sample testing
The meter is equipped with a large TFT color screen with plain language and graphic navigation, supporting English, Spanish, and Chinese. Intelligent functions such as automatic calibration, real-time clock display, calibration date check, auto. power off, and low battery reminder are built-in to ensure ease of use.
