Water Quality Analyzer

The WQA is a robust, portable, water diagnostic particle counter. The WQA may be used as a point of use analyzer or lab qualification instrument.  The WQA 2000 provides 8-channel tracking, in either differential or cumulative mode, for particles as small as 2 mm. When sensitivity is critical, the WQA 1000 provides 8-channel tracking for particles as small as 1mm. Sample and purge volumes are user selectable from 10 to 1000ml. All 8 channels are simultaneously viewable on a large, easy to read  LCD display.
