OHAUS AquaSearcher AP30 Portable Turbidimeter - Product Description

Dual-Method Compliance in a Single Robust Instrument

The OHAUS AquaSearcher AP30TUR series portable turbidimeter delivers comprehensive turbidity measurement capabilities by combining both nephelometric and transmitted light methods in one versatile instrument, eliminating the need to purchase separate meters for different testing protocols. This innovative dual-method design ensures compliance with both ISO 7027 international standards and EPA Method 180.1 requirements, making it the ideal solution for professionals who need to meet multiple regulatory requirements across diverse water quality applications. Equipped with advanced dual optic paths and detectors featuring near-infrared (NIR) LED light sources at 0° and 180° transmittance angles, the AP30TUR effectively eliminates color interferences and stray light effects that can compromise measurement accuracy in challenging samples. The robust, water-resistant construction is specifically engineered for demanding field applications, from pristine drinking water sources to highly turbid wastewater environments, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh outdoor conditions where moisture exposure and physical impacts are common concerns.

Advanced Data Management with Field-Proven Durability

Built to withstand the rigors of field work, the AP30TUR combines exceptional battery life from four standard AA batteries with extensive data storage capacity for up to 5,000 measurement groups, allowing extended field campaigns without the need for frequent data downloads or battery replacements. The bright graphic OLED display provides excellent visibility in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to dimly lit field locations, while the intuitive light-touch keyboard simplifies operation even when wearing gloves. Data transfer is seamless through the built-in micro-USB port, which enables quick connection to PCs without requiring additional software installation, streamlining your workflow from field collection to laboratory analysis and reporting. The meter features flexible calibration options with up to 8-point calibration capability or optional standards, ensuring optimal accuracy across your specific turbidity range, while the auto-off function conserves battery power during extended field sessions. Packaged in a protective briefcase for secure transport and storage, the AP30TUR is compact and lightweight at just 0.61 lb, making it highly portable for environmental monitoring, water treatment operations, industrial process control, and regulatory compliance testing applications.
