Lab Equipment

The compact photometer PF-3 is the smallest photometer in the MACHEREY-NAGEL range. The PF-3 is equipped with three LEDs generating three different wavelengths and is available in 5 different versions. Each version can analyse a particular set of parameters, which are vital to analyse in the respective area of application. All versions come in three different options including a box with the photometer, a rugged case with photometer and accessories, or a case with pre-packed reagents. The PF-3 can handle both our convenient NANOCOLOR tube tests, as well as the economical VISOCOLOR test kits.

Updates July 2020 NANOCOLOR Potassium 50?(REF 985045) has been improved. The change is introduced from LOT 45004, which is available from stock as of 20th July 2020. The test is now produced with an integrated ammonium compensation. The modified recipe allows a simple determination of potassium in the presence of an ammonium interference up to a concentration of 200 mg/L NH4-N, which is unique?in the market. The use of the additional ammonium compensation reagent (REF 918045) is therefore no longer necessary. Additional information on this topic will be part of our upcoming water news mailing. Please note, that the test procedure has changed. An update of the photometers is not required. Please find the new product information within the following link.

Servicing Servicing Options Available ? Have you considered your servicing requirements? Much like a car, scientific instruments may need a bit of care to keep them working reliably and at their most accurate. ? The Allschoolabs Service Department have over 60 years experience in scientific instrumentation. We have a number of highly qualified internal and field-based service engineers able to perform a variety of jobs including preventative maintenance servicing and calibration. Allschoolabs can offer yearly service contracts which include two main types of preventative maintenance/calibration services ? the back to base service and an engineer visit to your site. These options are can be offered with differing turn around times depending on the instrument type and your requirements along with loan instruments if available. ? A typical preventative maintenance service includes the following: Inspection and testing of the unit Dismantling, cleaning and inspection of the key parts Correction of minor defects including adjustments if necessary Reassembly and testing Take post adjustment / cleaning readings Supply of calibration certificate Return of the item to you (back to base services) ?
