Hach StablCal Turbidity Kit for 2100P Turbidimeter and Formazin Vials

Description

Product Overview

The Hach StablCal Turbidity Calibration Kit is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of water quality professionals who require precise, repeatable measurements in both laboratory and field settings. Each kit contains sealed vials filled with pre‑mixed Formazin primary standards, eliminating the need for on‑site solution preparation and reducing the risk of contamination. The Formazin material is derived from a well‑established reference standard, ensuring traceability to international calibration protocols. Vials are manufactured from high‑density polyethylene that resists breakage and chemical interaction, preserving the integrity of the standards over extended storage periods. The kit is compatible with the Hach 2100P portable turbidimeter, a compact instrument that delivers reliable nephelometric readings across a wide turbidity range. Detailed specifications include a concentration range from 0.02 to 4000 NTU, a temperature tolerance of 2–35 °C, and a shelf life of up to two years when stored in a cool, dry environment. This combination of robust packaging, stable chemistry, and instrument compatibility provides a turnkey solution for accurate turbidity assessment.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the StablCal kit supports a variety of operational scenarios. In a laboratory, technicians can quickly retrieve a vial, insert it into the 2100P turbidimeter, and obtain a calibrated reading within seconds, streamlining workflow and freeing up valuable time for sample analysis. Field engineers benefit from the kit’s portability; the sealed vials are lightweight, resistant to shock, and require no additional equipment, making them ideal for on‑site water source monitoring, wastewater discharge verification, and environmental compliance checks. The kit also serves educational institutions, providing students with hands‑on experience in turbidity measurement without the complexities of solution preparation. Because the standards are pre‑mixed, users can focus on sample handling and data interpretation rather than chemical preparation, which reduces the potential for human error and enhances overall data quality. Whether measuring drinking water, industrial effluents, or natural bodies of water, the kit delivers consistent performance across diverse conditions.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the Hach StablCal Turbidity Calibration Kit means selecting a product backed by decades of scientific expertise and a commitment to quality assurance. Hach, a recognized leader in water analysis, rigorously tests each batch of Formazin standards for concentration accuracy, ensuring that every vial meets strict tolerance limits. The sealed vial design protects the standards from exposure to light, air, and moisture, which are common sources of degradation in traditional liquid standards. This enhanced stability translates into longer shelf life and reduced frequency of recalibration, delivering cost savings over the product’s lifecycle. Additionally, Hach provides comprehensive technical support, including calibration guidance, troubleshooting resources, and access to a network of certified service technicians. Customers benefit from a clear chain of custody for calibration materials, facilitating regulatory compliance and audit readiness. The kit’s compatibility with the 2100P portable turbidimeter also means that users can maintain a single, streamlined workflow without the need for multiple calibration devices or additional accessories.

FAQ

What is the concentration range of the Formazin standards in this kit?

The kit includes vials covering a turbidity range from 0.02 NTU up to 4000 NTU, allowing users to calibrate the 2100P turbidimeter across low, medium, and high turbidity conditions.

How long can the sealed vials be stored before the standards degrade?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the sealed vials maintain their accuracy for up to two years, thanks to the chemically stable Formazin formulation and protective packaging.

Can the kit be used with turbidimeters other than the 2100P model?

While the kit is optimized for the Hach 2100P portable turbidimeter, the Formazin standards are compatible with any nephelometric turbidimeter that follows standard calibration procedures, provided the instrument accepts standard vials of similar size.

What support does Hach provide if I encounter calibration issues?

Hach offers a comprehensive support package that includes detailed calibration manuals, online troubleshooting guides, and direct access to certified service technicians who can assist with instrument setup, calibration verification, and any technical questions you may have.

Is the kit suitable for educational purposes?

Yes, the pre‑mixed, ready‑to‑use vials make the kit an excellent teaching tool for students learning about water quality analysis, allowing them to focus on measurement techniques without the complexities of solution preparation.
