・Sample Cover Equipped with Anti Volatilization Device
Anti Volatilization Device
Furnished on the back side of the sample cover to prevent sample liquid from volatilizing.
Splash Prevention
Sample cover, when opened, prevents the sample from being splashed on the LCD.
Secure Measurement
The start button will not be activated when the sample cover remains open.
- Graphic indicator to grasp concentration range
