AK405 MAX Color Photometer

Water color analysis is crucial to assess its quality and to identify the presence of contaminants. The color of the water can indicate the presence of dissolved and suspended substances, such as organic compounds, metals and algae, which can affect human health and the environment. In drinking water, changes in color can signal contamination, which impacts water taste, odor and safety. In natural bodies of water, color can indicate the presence of algae and pollutants, which helps to monitor the ecosystem. In industrial and
treatment processes, water color can influence efficiency and cleanliness of the treated water.

It has a GLP (good laboratory practice) function, allowing you to check the date the product was calibrated, the standards used and the calibration expiration date (optional). It also has quick and easy user firmware updates, guaranteeing the longevity of your product. Akso’s AK405 Color Max is a meter designed to provide fast and accurate measurements of water color using an advanced, highprecision sensor.

This portable instrument combines a compact design with an intuitive digital interface, making it easy to use and offering instant readings.
