The compact photometer PF-12Plus is an extension to its prerunner PF-12.
The PF-12Plus is tailor-made for the mobile analysis and is now equipped with more than 100 preprogrammed methods and additional functions. An 860 nm LED enables the nephelometric turbidity measurement in the range of 1-1000 NTU. This feature also allows for the well established NTU-Check during the measurement of our NANOCOLOR tube tests; a big PLUS in terms of safe measurement results. The icon-based user guidance and the new taskbar turn the PF-12Plus into a user-friendly, easy and intuitively operated photometer for all scope of applications in water and wastewater analysis.

Delivered in a robust case, equipped with helpful accessories, allowing for an analysis directly at the point of interest. Numerous versions of our VISOCOLOR and NANOCOLOR reagent cases are also available with the new PF-12Plus.

Individual Components

Compact photometer PF-12Plus incl. software DVD, manual, 4 batteries, 4 empty test tubes, funnel, beaker, syringe, USB cable, calibration cuvette, cleaning cloth and certificate in rugged case REF 919 250
USB mains adaptor REF 919 220

Minimize errors experience precision
An 860 nm LED enables the nephelometric turbidity measurement in the range of 1€“1000 NTU. This feature allows for the well established NTU-Check of MACHEREY-NAGEL spectrophotometers is now also on the PF-12Plus. In addition turbidity in transmitted light, between 4€“350 FAU, can be determined.

Highest Accuracy

Warning of potential interferences by fully automatic turbidity control measurement with 90° (NTU-Check)
Display of the 20€“80 % measurement range bar

Measurement without cuvette slot cover

The state-of-art optical system is insensitive to external light and allows straightforward measurements without cuvette slot cover

Turbidity A Potential Source of Error
Turbidity within a cuvette is often underestimated because it is not always visible. With the integrated turbidity control (NTUCheck), turbidity within the sample is determined for every measurement and in case of an interference the operator is warned.

2 cuvettes (A | B) with similar COD-concentrations. The turbidity in cuvette B influences the result up to 30 %.

Compact Multiparameter Photometer PF-12 Plus

For easy and fast measurements
Using NANOCOLOR® bar coded test tubes, the measurement is automatically performed after inserting the cuvette into the cuvette slot. The contact with any dangerous chemicals is avoided because the measurement is performed directly in the test tube. This guarantees maximum safety for the user.

Approved

Reliable and comparable results

The reaction basis of NANOCOLOR® tests is based on international approved standard methods like DIN-, EN-, ISO-, EPA- and APHA.

Precise

Easy handling and highest accuracy

All NANOCOLOR® tests contain accurate predosed reagents, that are directly ready to use and calibrated accessories.

Versatile

The perfect test for every request

For all important parameters in water and wastewater analysis, a large number of tests with different ranges is available.

Unique

No mix up of tests Every

NANOCOLOR® test box is equipped with a colour coded label and can be identified clearly by its colour.

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.

The NANOCOLOR^® 500 D filter photometer is being phased out this year after more than 10 years on the market. Currently, a certain, but limited, number of devices is still available. Macherey Nagel will continue to offer support for the device. Spare parts will still be available.

The NANOCOLOR^® 500 D will be replaced by the new device, the NANOCOLOR^® Advance. Information is an upcoming instrument soon.

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 Camlab 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.

Camlab 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.
