HI83300 Family Multiparameter Photometers with Digital pH Electrode Input

The HI83300 family of multiparameter photometers features seven models to cover a wide variety of applications. These meters are compact and versatile making them ideal for both benchtop or portable operation.

Key Features

• Advanced optical system: Innovative optical design that utilizes a reference detector and focusing lens to eliminate errors from changes in the light source and from imperfections in the glass cuvette
• Up to 73 different programmed methods measuring 40 key water and wastewater quality parameters
• Absorbance mode: Absorbance measurement mode for performance verification and can also be used to plot a custom concentration versus absorbance curve useful for user-supplied chemistry and for teaching students about photometry
• High performance pH meter that uses advanced digital pH/temperature electrodes
• Backlit 128 x 64 Pixel Graphic LCD Display: Backlit graphic display allows for easy viewing in low light conditions. The 128 x 64 Pixel LCD allows for a simplified user interface with virtual keys and on-screen help to guide the user through use of the meter
• CAL Check functionality: Hanna's exclusive CAL Check cuvettes for validation of light source and detector
• Result conversion: Automatically convert readings to other chemical forms with the touch of a button
• Cuvette cover: Aids in preventing stray light from affecting measurements
• Digital pH Electrode Input: Measure pH and temperature with a single probe. Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) to track calibration information including date, time, buffers used, offset and slope for traceability. pH CAL Check alerts user to potential problems during the calibration process. Space saving having a pH meter and photometer built into one meter
• Data Logging: Up to 1000 photometric and pH readings can be stored by simply pressing the dedicated LOG button. Logged readings are just as easily recalled by pressing the RCL button. Sample ID and User ID information can be added to a logged reading using alphanumeric keypad
• Rechargeable Battery: Li-polymer rechargeable battery lasts for 500 measurements or 50 hours of pH measurement
• Battery status indicator displays the amount of battery life left
• USB for Data Transfer: Two USB ports are provided for transferring data. One port allows the data to be transferred to a flash drive while the other USB is used for direct connection to a computer. All data is transferred as a .csv file that can be used with many spreadsheet programs for documentation
• Error messages for troubleshooting including photometric messages (no cap, high zero, and standard too low) and pH calibration messages (clean electrode, check buffer and check probe)

Advanced Optical System

The HI83300 family is designed with an innovative optical system that incorporates a beam splitter so that light can be used for absorbance readings and for a reference detector. The reference detector monitors the intensity of light and modulates when there is drift due to power fluctuation or the heating of the optical components.

• High Efficiency LED Light Source: Offers superior performance compared to tungsten lamps with much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. Produces very little heat which could otherwise affect the optical components and electronic stability
• Quality Narrow Band Interference Filters: Ensures greater wavelength accuracy (±1 nm) and is extremely efficient, allowing a brighter, stronger signal to be transmitted resulting in increased measurement stability and less wavelength error
• Reference Detector for a Stable Light Source: Beam splitter used as part of the internal reference system compensates for any drift due to power fluctuations or ambient temperature changes
• Large Cuvette Size: Sample cell fits a round, glass cuvette with a 25 mm path length. The relatively long path length allows light to pass through more of the sample solution, ensuring accurate measurements even in low absorbance samples
• Focusing Lens for Greater Light Yield: Allows for the collection of all of the light that exits the cuvette and focusing the light on the silicon photo detector. This innovative approach cancels the errors from imperfections and scratches present in the glass cuvette eliminating the need to index the cuvette
• Better linearity than research-grade spectrophotometers
• Improved optical filters — higher wavelength accuracy and light throughput

Photometer Capabilities

Concentration Measurement Function: Users can access the menu of measurement methods with the simple press of a button. Low, medium, and high range methods of several parameters are available for users to obtain a high accuracy reading. Each method is assigned a concentration unit of measure. Parameters can be expressed in different chemical forms based on their preference.

Built-in Reaction Timer: The countdown timer displays the time remaining until a measurement will be taken, ensuring consistent results between measurements and users.

pH Measurement: The HI83300 family offers the ability to connect a digital pH electrode. Users can connect any sensor from our extensive line of digital pH electrodes. Whether a user requires a glass or plastic body, a spheric or conic tip shape, or the ability for safe use with food samples, our digital electrode offering is suitable for nearly everyone.

Large Cuvettes: The sample cell fits a round, glass cuvette with a 25 mm path length. The relatively long path length of the sample cuvette allows the light to pass through more of the sample solution, ensuring accurate measurements even in low absorbance samples. This cuvette size also provides a larger opening, making it easier for users to dispense ready-made liquid or powder reagents into the sample. An affixed, light-blocking cover panel closes over the sample cell, reducing stray light from affecting any measurement readings.

Digestion Vial Adapter: A digestion vial adapter is supplied with photometers programmed with digestion parameters. The adapter is used with reagents packaged in 16mm digestion vials, including COD and various forms of Nitrogen and Phosphorous.
