-
Unique solid gold measuring cell, ballistic amplifier providing a test accuracy of <0.005mS/cm
-
Unique CURVE-FITTING Analysis algorithm (Merit of Fit)
-
Full regeneration in typically < 6 minutes
-
Smooth bubble-free circulation at all times
-
Accurate measurement even when the proportion of test solution to surface area under test are huge
