INTRODUCTION

This Sper Scientic AquaShock® Bluetooth® pH Meter

(850057K) is the industry’s leading cross-over meter that

brings lab quality capability to the portable meter industry. The
AquaShock® line can withstand rigorous use, oats, and can
be completely submerged in up to a meter of water. The fast
calibration calibrates up to ve-points with auto-recognition
technology. Data can be stored in the meter and later streamed

to the included software for graphing, manipulation, and sharing

via Bluetooth® technology. It can also stream in real-time
allowing users to wirelessly collect data from up to 100 feet away.
Data gathered with the AquaShock® is precise, fast, and secure
making it possible for the same meter to be used in multiple

applications including laboratory settings, manufacturing, and

environmental testing.
