LaMotte DC1500 Series Portable Colorimeter Kit for Liquid Reagents
The LaMotte DC1500 Colorimeter Series represents the next generation of portable water analysis technology, combining laboratory-grade precision with rugged field durability in a single handheld instrument. Designed with excessive moisture exposure in mind, the IP67 waterproof housing ensures reliable performance in demanding environments from wastewater treatment facilities to remote field sampling sites. Each colorimeter features superior narrow bandwidth interference filters that deliver exceptional accuracy across critical water quality parameters, while the large graphical LCD with bold backlit display provides clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery eliminates ongoing battery costs and powers approximately 380 tests with backlight on or up to 1000 tests with backlight off, supported by approximately 500 charge cycles for long-term reliability. With EPA 330.5 compliance (Standard Methods 4500) and a comprehensive 2-year warranty, the DC1500 delivers professional-grade results you can trust.
Built for ease of use, the DC1500 features simple menu-driven operation through an intuitive 6-button keypad, with multilingual support including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. The 160 x 100 pixel backlit LCD provides 20 x 6 line graphical display showing all critical information including test results, measurement modes (pre-programmed test, absorbance, %T), and system status. Each complete kit includes everything needed to start testing immediately: the single-test colorimeter pre-calibrated for your chosen parameter, six sample vials with caps, water sample bottle, required reagents (sufficient for 50-140 tests depending on parameter), sturdy protective carrying case, comprehensive manual, and USB cable for data transfer and computer/wall adapter charging. The replaceable sample cup protects optical components while the mini USB port enables easy data logging and optional software integration for enhanced data storage and manipulation capabilities.
