It uses the 2401T-F glass-body platinum-black conductivity electrode, which measures EC across a wide range of 0–200 mS\/cm with ±1% full-scale accuracy. Automatic temperature compensation helps maintain reliable readings as sample temperatures change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes Apera's integrated TestBench workstation, combining a flexible electrode holder, an intelligent magnetic stirrer, and organizers for calibration solutions. This setup streamlines repetitive testing at nutrient-mixing stations, water-treatment checkpoints, and laboratory benches. Automatic calibration, electrode self-diagnostics, and a 200-record manual data logger support consistent measurement and routine quality-control documentation without requiring a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Product Type: Benchtop conductivity\/TDS\/salinity meter kit with TestBench\u003cbr\u003e\n• Brand: Apera Instruments\u003cbr\u003e\n• Model: EC950\u003cbr\u003e\n• SKU: AI5622\u003cbr\u003e\n• Measurement Parameters: Electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, and temperature\u003cbr\u003e\n• EC Measurement Range: 0–200 mS\/cm across five automatic ranges\u003cbr\u003e\n• EC Accuracy: ±1.0% of full scale ±1 digit\u003cbr\u003e\n• EC Resolution: 0.01 \/ 0.1 \/ 1 µS\/cm and 0.01 \/ 0.1 mS\/cm\u003cbr\u003e\n• TDS Range: 0–100 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\n• Salinity Range: 0–100 ppt\u003cbr\u003e\n• Temperature Compensation: Automatic or manual, 0–50°C\u003cbr\u003e\n• Included Electrode: Apera 2401T-F glass-body platinum-black conductivity\/temperature electrode\u003cbr\u003e\n• Electrode Technology: Platinum-black cell construction designed to minimize polarization effects during conductivity measurement\u003cbr\u003e\n• Cell Constant: 0.1 \/ 1 \/ 10 cm⁻¹\u003cbr\u003e\n• Calibration: Automatic 1–4-point calibration with self-diagnostics\u003cbr\u003e\n• Recognized Calibration Standards: 84 µS\/cm, 1,413 µS\/cm, 12.88 mS\/cm, and 111.8 mS\/cm\u003cbr\u003e\n• Data Storage: Up to 200 groups of manually recorded measurements\u003cbr\u003e\n• Display: Large backlit LCD displaying EC, TDS, or salinity alongside temperature\u003cbr\u003e\n• Measurement Indicators: Stability indicator and calibration-status display\u003cbr\u003e\n• TestBench Workstation: Integrated intelligent magnetic stirrer, flexible electrode holder, and calibration-solution organizers\u003cbr\u003e\n• Stirring Function: Helps maintain a representative, evenly mixed sample during measurement and calibration\u003cbr\u003e\n• Operating Languages: English, German, Spanish, and Mandarin\u003cbr\u003e\n• Primary Applications: Nutrient-solution analysis, reservoir monitoring, feed-water verification, reverse-osmosis water checks, and water-quality testing\u003cbr\u003e\n• Commercial Applications: Fertigation stations, tissue-culture media preparation, propagation facilities, and cultivation quality-control benches\u003cbr\u003e\n• Replacement Electrode: 2401T-F replaceable conductivity\/temperature electrode\u003cbr\u003e\n• Warranty: 3 years for the meter and 6 months for the electrode\u003cbr\u003e\n• Important Limitation: Measures EC, TDS, and salinity; resistivity measurement is not supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey Advantage: The Apera EC950 combines a wide conductivity measurement range with an integrated magnetic-stirring workstation, reducing the need for separate stirring and electrode-support equipment. Its automatic calibration, 200-record data logger, and multi-parameter display make it well suited to routine commercial nutrient testing. Compared with the higher-tier EC820, it offers lower measurement precision and fewer data-storage features, but includes the TestBench workstation for a more streamlined benchtop testing workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydro Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68104530493476,"sku":"APRA-AI5622","price":542.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/3914\/1924\/files\/value-series-benchtop-cond-tds-salinity-meter-kit-with-testbench-ai562.png?v=1794499860","url":"https:\/\/www.growitdepot.com\/products\/apera-ec950-benchtop-conductivity-meter-kit-with-testbench","provider":"Grow It Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
