Horiba Potassium (K⁺) Pocket Tester – Measurement Solutions for Determining Potassium Ions

Mobile Analysis Laboratory for Ion Measurements – Versatile Use Compact kit for simultaneous determination of multiple water and environmental parameters The Horiba 4M LAQUAtwin Kit is a mobile laboratory that allows you to determine important ion parameters directly on-site. The case contains pocket testers for measuring sodium, potassium, nitrate, and calcium, as well as for temperature measurement. Each device uses ion-selective electrodes for targeted analysis of small samples and provides fast, reliable results. In addition to the four measurement devices, the kit includes calibration solutions and a wash/spray bottle for sensor cleaning. The sensors can be stored dry without special storage solutions. Compact Multi-Parameter Kit for Flexible On-Site Analyses The set is designed for measurement tasks where multiple ions need to be detected simultaneously, for example when monitoring drinking and process water, performing environmental checks of water bodies, conducting aquaculture analyses, or agricultural research. Thanks to the case, all essential testers including accessories are always on hand and ready for immediate use. The measurement results are available in a short time and are reliable and reproducible – ideal for routine and control measurements in the field. All components are neatly arranged in the case and ready for use at any time. An additional advantage is that the sensors can be stored dry without special storage solutions. Due to its compact design, the kit is particularly suitable for mobile applications where multiple ion parameters need to be determined quickly one after the other or in parallel. Why Multi-Parameter Ion Measurements Are Useful – and a Mobile Kit Is Ideal In many applications, not just a single measurement is important, but the interaction of multiple ion parameters. Sodium, potassium, nitrate, and calcium together influence water quality, biological processes, plant growth, and technical operations. Single measurements in a laboratory are often time-consuming and inflexible. A mobile analysis kit allows simultaneous detection of multiple parameters directly on-site. This allows relationships to be recognized more quickly, decisions to be made more reliably, and measurement campaigns to be carried out more efficiently. The Horiba 4M LAQUAtwin Kit combines these advantages in a compact, user-friendly system.

Thank you for your interest in our smart and customizable Horiba WQ-300 series instruments.The high-quality digital multi-parameter handheld meters with their generous color LCD display with LED backlight (7 cm x 5.2 cm) are ideally suited for use in the field under all conditions and in direct daylight.Use our configurator to freely select the suitable measuring device of the WQ-300 Horiba series (1 to 3 channels), the measuring parameters (sensor cartridges) and desired cable length (with integrated sensor receptacle + digital module) according to your wishes and requirements. At a later stage, you can always connect another available measurement parameter to the device via the corresponding sensor cable or carry it in the case as a supplement. As with other handheld measuring devices from Horiba, a major advantage of these devices is that the measuring devices are highly resistant to shock, slipping and scratching thanks to a special rubber coating. Only four standard AA 2500 mAh batteries are required for operation, and to give you more flexibility when you are on the move, the WQ-300 series devices can also be powered by a powerbank or battery pack via the integrated USB interface. The IP67 certification, which certifies dustproofness and protection against temporary submersion for up to 30 minutes at a water depth of one meter, completes the overall professional package, along with the usual ergonomic design and ease of user operation.  Horiba attests to its outstanding product quality by offering a three-year warranty on the LAQUA WQ-300 series handheld meters. Other added values and features:During analyses, the user is supported by the display of operating instructions in the form of smiley icons, which is supplemented by an LED status display on the sensor. This is intended to prevent operating errors, which can lead to implausible measurement results. The design decision to install only a small number of control buttons and not to implement any nested user menus serves to ensure that the devices can be operated easily and safely even during discontinuous use as well as when used by other users.  The measuring instruments have an electrode wear indicator, a measuring stability indicator on the instrument and sensor, a locking function to "save" the currently measured value on the display, free naming of the measuring point (8 characters), automatic calibration functions, integrated sensor holders, self-diagnosis function, as well as GLP functions. The fold-out stand on the back of the instruments means that you always have your hands free to carry out your measurements easily and safely. Measurement data can be conveniently transferred to your computer or cell phone via USB or WiFi.All handheld meters of the 300 series are delivered in a reinforced measuring case for mobile use in the open air. This provides space for the meter, for electrodes and cables, for up to eight 60 ml bottles of buffer solutions including an integrated buffer solution bottle holder for easier calibration. Particularly noteworthy is the automatic sensor recognition of the instrument through the use of sensor cables with integrated digital sensor recording. Information about the sensor, calibration data as well as measurement settings are stored in the sensor recording and transmitted to the measuring instrument. In addition, calibration of all connected sensors is possible at the same time, since each sensor head independently stores the measurement and calibration data and transmits it to the WQ300 series measuring device.Optionally, there is the possibility to connect and use analog sensors via the Horiba BNC sensor adapter with the device, please contact us for this.Languages:GermanEnglishFrenchSpanishPortugueseChineseScope of delivery:WQ-300 series handheld meter in a carrying casethe digital electrode you have chosen, if applicable, and the corresponding sensor-specific cable with integrated digital sensor receptaclemanualManufacturer article number single measuring device WQ-310-K 1 channel: 3200832605 Note: Chloride sensor, if selected, is supplied without chloride ion strength regulator and chloride electrode filling solution.
