Water-I.D. – PrimeLab 2.0 Photometer & LabCOM Cloud service

PrimeLab 2.0 & LabCOM® - More than 140 water parameters with free-of-charge Cloud Service. Water-i.d.’s photometers deserve special mention, the corresponding reagents, which are manufactured in-house, and the free cloud service form a functional complete package offered from a single source.

The PrimeLab 2.0 is the perfect solution for professional water analysis under laboratory and field conditions. This is an extremely powerful hand-held photometer that is capable of detecting up to 18 different wavelengths from IR to UV in parallel. More than 140 different water parameters can be determined, with corresponding LEDs positioned at both 180° and 90° to enable NTU turbidity, PTSA and fluorescein measurements. Very narrow peaks between 390 and 950 nm enable highly accurate detection, bringing the device's performance close to that of spectrophotometers. The device's firmware can interpolate between these wavelengths, while some parameter curves are set to use multiple wavelengths for the most accurate test results.

An 8.400 mAh battery guarantees satisfactory runtimes even when there is no power outlet nearby. By using a high-resolution 5.5-inch colour display with capacitive touch function, the control panel also looks very similar to modern smartphones and can be operated in the same way. The measurement process is shown on the display in a simple step-by-step guide, making it easier for the user to take measurements. The device also has a built-in camera which can be used to scan QR-codes, printed on Water-i.d.® reagent packages. In addition, the camera can scan QR-codes of the measurement locations, of new parameters or of a WiFi network which can be used. All of this makes every measurement even more comfortable and prevents user mistakes.

Another key feature of the PrimeLab 2.0 is the option to use various electrochemical probes to also cover electrochemical water parameters such as pH, TDS, electrical conductivity, ORP and, in addition, the temperature of the water being analysed. Thanks to its seamless integration into the existing PrimeLab 2.0 system, it is extremely easy to use. The ProbeBOX 1.0 module can be used to connect electrodes from our portfolio by connecting them to the PrimeLab 2.0 itself or even to any USB-C-supported Android® smartphone or tablet.

Modern hardware stands and falls in today's world with the appropriate software. For this reason, the functionality of Water-i.d.® photometers has been extensively enhanced with a powerful cloud service. By using the free-of-charge LabCOM® software family, you simply get more out of your measurement results than you were previously used to. The photometer automatically synchronises the measurement data with the LabCOM® cloud as soon as it is connected to a Wi-Fi network and saves them in the user's personal cloud storage. The storage gives you the opportunity to store hundreds of thousands of results and keeps them safely on a reliable server with permanent access for users.

This means that measurement data, including all associated information such as user and measuring sources, are not only stored independently of the device, but can also be statistically evaluated and processed. For this purpose, there are particularly designed tools within LabCOM®, which make professional data evaluation easy-to-use for all kinds of users without immersive learning phases. The LabCOM® Cloud itself provides numerous functions for this. You can access the cloud via the free software versions for Windows®, Android® or iOS® or via the web application at https://labcom.cloud. This makes the cloud usage accessible for almost every globally established hardware and software systems.

All in all, Water-i.d.® has created a very comprehensive package for the photometric and in addition electrochemical determination of water parameters for professional use, which is constantly being expanded to include further parameters. From the measurement process to the export of data for statistical evaluation, there are several options available by using Water-i.d.® products, including the LabCOM® cloud service. This way, many different industries are successfully covered by our system and globally used, like wastewater, drinking water or boiling water.
