HI97709 is an advanced portable photometer for the measurement of manganese in water. This meter offers a superior optical system that utilizes a reference detector and narrow band interference filters for extremely fast and repeatable measurements.
Manganese is one of the most common metals present in nature and is used in many industrial applications, for example, the production of fertilizers and in the pharmaceutical industry. Manganese salts are also used in iron alloys (steel manufacturing) and non-iron alloys as it improves their corrosion resistance and hardness.
The HI97709 meter measures the manganese content in water samples up to 20.0 mg/L (ppm). The method is an adaptation of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 23rd Edition, Periodate Method. When the reagent is added to samples containing manganese, the sample will turn a violet hue; the greater the concentration, the deeper the color. The associated color change is then colorimetrically analyzed according to the Beer-Lambert Law. This principle states that light is absorbed by a complementary color, and the emitted radiation is dependent upon concentration. For manganese determination, a narrow band interference filter at 525 nm allows only green light to be emitted and passed through the sample cuvette. As the change in color of the reacted sample increases, absorbance of the specific wavelength of light also increases, while transmittance decreases.
This innovative optical system offers superior performance in accuracy, repeatability, and required time to perform a measurement. This compact, waterproof meter has a tutorial mode that walks the user graphically, step by step, to perform a measurement. The compact design fits comfortable in the hand for use in the field or on a table for benchtop use.
CAL Check
Advanced features including CAL-Check to verify performance and if necessary, recalibrate.
Setup Options
Setup options for meter personalization include date and time format, language, and enabling the tutorial mode.
Backlit Display
Backlit dot matrix LCD that offers an exceptionally intuitive user interface that is easy to read and understand.

Stable Light Source:
High Efficiency Light Source:
High Quality Filters:
Greater Light Yield:
A focusing lens collects all of the light that exits the cuvette, eliminating errors from imperfections and scratches that may be present in the glass. The use of the convex lens reduces the need for indexing cuvettes.
