Ohaus Aquasearcher AB23EC-F Benchtop Conductivity Meter Kit

Ohaus Aquasearcher AB23EC-F Benchtop Conductivity Meter with STCON3 Probe

The Ohaus Aquasearcher AB23EC Benchtop Conductivity Meter is a simple-to-use conductivity measurement instrument designed for easy and straightforward monitoring of conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, and temperature in laboratory, educational, and quality control environments. Featuring an intuitive design with six instructional menu buttons and a large 5-inch segment LCD display with backlight, the AB23EC simplifies operation by presenting complete measurement information in a clear, easy-to-read format that allows users to monitor results from a distance. The meter measures conductivity, TDS, salinity, and temperature with both automatic and manual temperature compensation options, ensuring accurate temperature-corrected readings across varying sample temperatures while providing flexibility for applications requiring manual compensation control. Automatic and manual endpoint functions enable users to select between stable reading capture (automatic) or continuous measurement display (manual) based on specific measurement requirements and sample characteristics, accommodating diverse testing protocols and operator preferences.

Engineered for space efficiency and experimental flexibility, the AB23EC features a compact standalone electrode holder with a small base footprint that increases flexibility for routine experiments and makes it a perfect space-saving bench meter for crowded laboratory workstations. The meter's 99-item measurement memory stores conductivity data for efficient data collection and documentation, supporting basic record-keeping requirements in quality control and educational settings without the need for immediate data transfer. Constructed with durable ABS housing and reliable mechanical keys that withstand daily laboratory use, the AB23EC operates on included AC adapter for continuous, uninterrupted operation without concern for battery replacement. Meeting EN 61326-1 electromagnetic safety standards and FCC electromagnetic compatibility requirements, the Aquasearcher AB23EC combines straightforward operation with reliable conductivity measurement performance, making it an ideal solution for educational laboratories, routine water quality testing, environmental monitoring, industrial process control, food and beverage production, aquaculture operations, and any environment requiring simple, accurate, and space-efficient conductivity, TDS, and salinity measurement capabilities without the complexity of advanced multi-parameter instruments.

Key Differences Between AB23EC and AB23PH Benchtop Meters

1. Measurement Parameters:

• AB23PH: Measures pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and temperature - designed specifically for acidity/alkalinity and redox potential measurements using pH electrodes.
• AB23EC: Measures conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, and temperature - designed for ionic content and dissolved solids measurements using conductivity probes.

2. Calibration and Compensation Features:

• AB23PH: Features auto buffer recognition with 3-point pH calibration capability and electrode condition icon for pH electrode status monitoring.
• AB23EC: Features both automatic and manual temperature compensation modes with automatic and manual endpoint functions, but does not include buffer recognition (not applicable to conductivity measurements).

In Summary: Choose the AB23PH for measuring acidity/alkalinity (pH) and redox potential (ORP), or choose the AB23EC for measuring electrical conductivity, dissolved solids content, and salinity. Both meters share the same user-friendly design with 6-button interface, 5-inch backlit display, 99-item memory, and compact standalone holder.
