Product news

Transmitters, as the interface between process analytical sensors and the user or control system, are central to successful and efficient production within all process industries. The M800 is the newest premium line multi-channel, multi-parameter transmitter from METTLER TOLEDO. It combines the highest process reliability, thanks to Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) technology, with easy handling and operation due to the full-color touchscreen display and simple menu structure.

Stable product quality, process safety and cost reduction are essential success factors for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, biotechnology and chemical companies. Maintenance requirements for sensors and unplanned production downtime resulting from sensor failure affect production and lead to substantial operating costs. Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) - the most advanced process analytics technology in today's market - reduces sensor maintenance and offers unique diagnostic tools that not only increase sensor lifetime, but also improve the performance and reliability of the complete measurement system.

The METTLER TOLEDO M800 transmitter is fully equipped with ISM functionality. Predictive diagnostics tools such as the Dynamic Lifetime Indicator (DLI), Adaptive Calibration Timer (ACT) and Time to Maintenance (TTM) indicator are clearly displayed via the unique iMonitor feature. The DLI, ACT and TTM enable the user to keep track of the most important information on the state of the measuring system. Warnings and alarms are color coded and clearly displayed. In addition, the M800 transmitter features configuration options allowing smart and proactive maintenance and, as a result, cost optimized management of measuring systems.

With its full-color, high-resolution touchscreen, clearly structured menus and user management functions, the M800 sets a new standard in user friendly transmitter operation.

The M800 is a multi-parameter, multi-channel device. The same series can monitor pH/ORP, conductivity, amperometric oxygen (DO as well as O2 gas) and, depending on the type selected, optical DO, ozone and flow. The M800 transmitter series includes models with up to four channels for measurement of the same or different parameters, depending on the sensor installed for the application.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.pH and Conductivity MetersIon and pH meters, used for electrochemical techniques and measurements, measure the concentration of specific ions using electrodes (probes) and a meter. Features of ph and ion meters to consider include temperature compensation, auto-calibration, adjustable resolution, measurable range and accuracy. Meters can be handheld, portable, benchtop and modular.
