Handheld water profiler.Sensicore, which manufactures smart sensor systems and software for monitoring the purity of the water supply, offers the Water-POINT 870, its second-generation handheld water-testing system. The handheld wireless device utilizes a smart sensor chip to calculate 14 different water parameters in just four minutes. Water-POINT enables municipalities and industrial customers to monitor their water in real time, helps them pinpoint the extent of contamination quickly and efficiently, and allows users to perform postevent monitoring while still in the field. WaterPOINT 870 is the first fully integrated field handheld system that provides an entire panel of key water quality tests, including measurements for pH, ORP ORP Oxidation-Reduction Potential ORP Office of River Protection ORP Optional Retirement Program ORP Open Runtime Platform ORP Objective Rally Point (Army) ORP Office of Radiation Programs (US EPA) , conductivity, free chlorine, total chlorine, monochloramine, ammonia, total dissolved solids Total dissolved solids (often abbreviated TDS) is an expression for the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid which are present in a molecular, ionized or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. , carbonate alkalinity, calcium hardness, Langelier saturation index saturation index n. An index representing the relative concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. , calcium, carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. , and temperature. An optional optical chamber adds two important tests for turbidity turbidity /tur·bid·i·ty/ (ter-bid´i-te) cloudiness; disturbance of solids (sediment) in a solution, so that it is not clear.tur´bid Turbidity The cloudiness or lack of transparency of a solution. and color, making the WaterPOINT system invaluable for routine field testing and troubleshooting. WaterPOINT 870 allows users to manage scaling, water aging, and cross-flow/cross-connection contamination problems in addition to providing critical information about water disinfection disinfection, n the process of destroying pathogenic organisms or rendering them inert. disinfection, full oral cavity, n a procedure used to reduce active periodontal disease, usually completed within a certain short time frame. . The system is capable of storing 250 water profiles in memory, and its built-in Bluetooth communications interface enables users to download results to any lab computer or communicate them wirelessly via cell phone to Sensicore's WaterNOW service in real time. The system uses a semi-disposable silicon-based chip that will last for 30 water profiles and does not require constant maintenance or cleaning. For more information, visit www.sensicore.com. |
