Wagtech™ Potalab+

The Potalab+ is the most advanced portable water quality laboratory. With complete digital instrumentation, the Potalab+ delivers laboratory levels of accuracy and is inclusive of digital arsenic testing. The kit is ideally suited to longer-term surveillance and professional monitoring in rural locations.

 

Tests…

  • Chemical tests for ammonia, arsenic, free chlorine, total chlorine, fluoride, nitrate and nitrite
  • Physical tests for turbidity, pH, conductivity, TDS and temperature
  • Microbiological tests for thermotolerant or faecal coliforms and total coliforms

• High capacity microbiological analysis – dual incubators with independent temperature control for simultaneous determination of up to 40 samples. Suitable for thermotolerant or faecal coliforms and total coliforms

• Advanced physico-chemical analysis – includes the Photometer 7500, Turbimeter Plus, Palintest Arsenator and Micro 800 Multiparameter Meter

• Versatile and flexible – suitable for use in the laboratory, as a makeshift central water laboratory or as an entirely self-contained field kit with independent power.
