The hand-held V-3000 multi-analyte photometer from CHEMetrics can be used as a portable or bench-top water analyzer preprogrammed to test for over 40 calibrations using Vacu-vials self-filling reagent ampoules. The simple menu-driven operation guides an analyst through all measuring tasks with a large, easy-to-read graphics display. Its flexible design accepts 13, 16  and 28 mm cell sizes. Operator safety is ensured because there’s no sample preparation, mixing or chemical contact. It stores up to 100 data points with date/time tags for later download to a lab computer or direct printing. The optional Power LabStation upgrades the portable V-3000 to a full laboratory-solution, all-in-one instrument. It offers web-based upload capacity for quick updates, and is European CE mark certified. Choose from English, German, French and Spanish language options. It’s rugged, waterproof (IP67), lightweight and battery operated, with a rechargeable battery available. 800/356-3072; www.chemetrics.com
