Key features of the 6000 series

The modern 6000 series laboratory benchtop meters are designed to be user-friendly without sacrificing exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Some of the key features of our pH, DO and EC meters include: 

Supplied with advanced Hanna electrodes and probes

All 6000 series benchtop meters are supplied with Hanna electrodes and probes to suit the specific requirements of laboratories, ensuring the full range is covered for the measurement of pH, DO and EC across a range of samples and industry specifications. 

Exceptional accuracy and reliability

As a laboratory and research-grade benchtop meter series, 6000 series meters are designed to be exceptionally accurate and reliable, for consistent repeatability when testing samples. Features such as galvanic isolation support pinpoint accurate measurement across different samples and applications.

A laboratory-grade benchtop solution

The 6000 series is designed with laboratory usage in mind, with a smaller footprint and greater flexibility in the placement of electrode arms. The large screen, streamlined design and large-scale viewing screens allow measurements to be read at a distance during testing, providing a more ergonomic way to measure key parameters in a busy laboratory environment.

7-inch capacitive touchscreen

A large, 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display with multi-touch support modernises the measurement of pH, EC and DO, allowing for easier navigation and intuitive day-to-day usage. The full-colour screen is easy to read and simple to navigate, providing a positive user experience in line with other modern laboratory equipment.

How the 6000 series improves testing efficiency

The 6000 series features numerous time-saving functionalities and design choices for efficient parameter measurement in a laboratory environment:

Five individual measurement views

Five different measurement views are available on the 6000 series, allowing you to see the information you need at a glance. These views include a basic measurement configuration, simple GLP with calibration information, full GLP with calibration point details, a live updated interactive graph and tabulated data with date, time and note capability. 

Active logging during measurement

Choose between manual, automatic and auto-hold logging to suit your specific requirements for measuring samples. The 6000 series makes logging easy with no additional steps required, allowing you access to data both during measurement and once testing is completed for the most efficient results possible.

Built-in alarm system

Both audible and visual alarm messages are available within the settings for the 6000 series, allowing you to define the correct range for measurements and set alarms beyond these predefined limits. Save time by identifying issues with measuring, allowing for prompt recalibration and sample replacement.

User-friendly design elements

The 6000 series is built with ease-of-use in mind and has an intuitive menu system and practical process for updating settings and calibration. A smaller learning curve means the 6000 series benchtop advanced meters are simple to master out of the box, with on-screen video tutorials to provide further support.

Digital innovations with the 6000 series

The digital-first approach with the 6000 series is the ideal match for modern laboratories, providing a streamlined solution without the need for added software or complex data transfer processes:

Store up to 1 million data points

Storage for up to 1 million individual data points ensures you’ll always have the space required for repeated testing. A time and date stamp is included with each data point, allowing for the easy sorting and management of large volumes of data.

Easy digital data transfer with WiFi or Ethernet

With the 6000 series, there is no need to set up your advanced benchtop meter within a cable’s length of a PC or printer. FTP and email transfer are available built-in to these lab-grade meters, allowing you to share data for measurements locally or remotely to other laboratories and sites. 

USB A and USB C transfer

Transfer via USB C or USB A with a memory stick to transfer your data directly to your laptop or PC. The 6000 series requires no additional software, with all logged data available in a universal .csv file for easy combination with other data and for practical report creation.

On-screen tutorials with video support

Everything you need to get started with the 6000 series is included on-screen. A complete support presentation with video is available from the menu system, with no need to read through a physical manual to begin the process of testing with these innovative benchtop pH, EC and DO meters.
