Hanna HI772 Marine Alkalinity dKH Checker

Hanna Marine Alkalinity dKH Checker HI772Features at-a-glance:Easier to use and more accurate than chemical test kitsDedicated to a single parameterSmall size, big convenienceIdeal for: Aquaculture & Aquariums, Water QualityHI772 uses the same alkalinity reagent (755-26) as the HI755 alkalinity checkerThe Hanna Marine Alkalinity (dKH) Checker bridges the gap between simple chemical test kits and professional instrumentation. Chemical test kits have limited accuracy and resolution since they rely upon the human eye to discern differences in color. Professional instrumentation incorporates a light source such as an LED or tungsten lamp with a filter and a light sensing detector to precisely determine absorbance and ion concentration. This level of instrumentation also offers greater resolution and accuracy, but can cost hundreds of dollars. The Hanna Marine Alkalinity Checker uses a fixed wavelength LED and silicon photo detector to provide the accuracy of professional instrumentation at the affordable price of a chemical test kit.Hanna Marine Alkalinity dKH Checker HI772Hanna Marine Alkalinity dKH Checker HI772 MANUALFeatures at-a-glance:Easier to use and more accurate than chemical test kitsDedicated to a single parameterSmall size, big convenienceIdeal for: Aquaculture & Aquariums, Water QualityHI772 uses the same alkalinity reagent (755-26) as the HI755 alkalinity checkerThe Hanna Marine Alkalinity (dKH) Checker bridges the gap between simple chemical test kits and professional instrumentation.

Critical to marine environments, alkalinity not only provides the carbonate ion required for calcium carbonate skeletal regeneration of coral reefs, but it also acts as a pH buffer against large changes in acidity. Designed as a more accurate alternative to chemical test kits, the HI772 provides quick, accurate results in four easy steps.SpecificationsRange0.0 to 20.0 dKHResolution0.1 dKHAccuracy @ 25C/77F0.3 dKH 5% of readingLight SourceLED @ 610 nmLight Detectorsilicon photocellMethodcolorimetric methodEnvironment0 to 50C (32 to 122F); RH max 95% non-condensingBattery Type(1) 1.5V AAAAuto-offafter ten minutes of non-useDimensions86.0 mm x 61.0 mm x 37.5 mm (3.4″ x 2.4″ x 1.5″)Weight64 g (2.25 oz.)Ordering InformationHI772 Checker is supplied with (2) sample cuvettes with caps, alkalinity reagent starter kit for 25 tests (1 bottle of alkalinity reagent, 1 ml syringe and tip), battery, instructions, and quick start guide.Product code: 5851Item No. TE-HI772
