Apera PC8500 Portable pH/Conductivity Meter Kit with GLP Data Logger and USB Data Output – SKU AI5524

Product Description

The Apera PC8500 Portable pH/Conductivity Meter Kit is a professional multi-parameter water quality measuring instrument designed for measuring pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, salinity, resistivity, and temperature. This instrument supports simultaneous connection of pH and conductivity electrodes, allowing users to perform various measurements using a single device.

The PC8500 is equipped with GLP Data Management with a storage capacity of up to 500 data sets, either through manual storage or an automatic timing data logger. Measurement data can be transferred via USB for analysis and reporting.

The PC8500 also features cross-platform web-based PC-Link Software that can be used via Chrome, Edge, or Firefox without additional software installation. Users can retrieve all stored data, view real-time charts, and export data with one click to CSV format or generate professional PDF reports. Reports can include measurement data, calibration date, pH electrode slope and offset, meter model, and serial number.

For field use, the PC8500 features an IP57 waterproof design, silicone-protected sockets, and a grip-enhanced housing that helps provide protection against water, dust, impacts, and intensive use. An integrated foldable stand allows the instrument to be used comfortably during both field testing and benchtop operation.

For pH measurement, the PC8500 uses the 201T-F 3-in-1 pH/Temperature Electrode with a proprietary lithium lead-free glass membrane designed to provide fast response and accurate measurement results across various aqueous solutions. Meanwhile, conductivity measurement uses the 2301T-S Conductivity/Temperature Electrode with a platinum black sensor and accuracy of ±1% F.S.
