The Apera PH800 (AI521) is a laboratory-grade benchtop pH meter designed for commercial cultivation facilities that require accurate, repeatable, and documented pH measurements. It measures pH across an exceptionally wide range of −2.00 to 19.99, with an accuracy of ±0.01 pH ±1 digit. The complete kit includes a 201T-F combination pH/temperature electrode, ready-to-use calibration buffers, a USB cable, and an electrode holder. Automatic temperature compensation operates across 0–100°C, while the large backlit LCD displays pH and temperature simultaneously.

Key Advantage: The Apera PH800 combines accurate pH measurement with substantial data-storage and reporting capabilities. Its 500 timestamped records, USB export, and browser-based CSV/PDF reporting make it especially valuable for commercial cultivation operations that need documented quality-control procedures rather than occasional spot checks. The standard BNC connection also allows the meter to accommodate compatible specialty electrodes, extending its usefulness beyond routine nutrient-solution testing.
