Hach SL1000 Portable Parallel Analyzer (PPA) Platform

Introduced by Hach Pacific, the Hach SL1000 Portable Parallel Analyzer (PPA) platform is designed to streamline water quality testing. The platform is suitable for the drinking water industry and can be used in the drinking water distribution system and treatment plant. Compared to traditional methods of testing, the platform is claimed to provide faster testing of multiple parameters and reduced variability from test to test and operator to operator.

The handheld drinking water instrument is able to test up to four colorimetric and two probe-based parameters simultaneously, eliminating the need to run multiple tests back to back. It is claimed that the platform can perform the same tests with less than half the manual steps compared with traditional methods, while producing accurate and reliable results. This can help to minimise errors and saves time by testing up to six parameters at the same time.

The platform is available on its own or as a fully operational kit, including the instrument, probes and Chemkey Reagents. The simple-use model of the PPA platform provides operators of all skill levels with the flexibility to test for the parameters that are relevant to their process, including both colorimetric testing methods and probe-based measurements.
