What’s New with Lumiso Expert?
Highly Accurate and Reliable Results
The Lumiso Expert makes use of the Lumiso optical engine, which is consistent across our entire range of handheld and benchtop photometers. The optical chamber design features compression rubber which allows for differences in glass diameter and works to centre the test tube to the incident light beam shining through the sample to ensure the most accurate results.
This new optical design guarantees accurate and reliable results, allowing checks to be carried out to ensure that the chemical parameters tested in water samples are within regulation specifications, and ultimately helping to prevent dangerous contamination or incorrect dosing.
As the optical design is consistent across our entire photometer range, this ensures accurate and consistent results regardless of if you are using a handheld or benchtop Lumiso photometer.
Designed to be Used in Challenging Environments
The Lumiso Expert instrument has been designed for use in any environment. The instrument is IP67 rated for waterproofing and humidity, meaning use with wet hands or the occasional sample spillage will not be an issue. The instrument touchscreen can also be used with gloved or wet hands and in-field in rainy environments without issue. The Lumiso Expert is a small size, which means it is portable and if required for use in-field can be easily transported. The instrument has also been impact tested to IK08 as part of EN61010, and the touchscreen is fitted with a scratch and chemical resistant coating.
Ideal Data for Auditing, Compliance and Data Management
Measurements taken on the Lumiso Expert instrument are saved automatically, including the test data, date, time, and any user, labels or notes attached to each result. The instrument stores up to 1000 results which are accessible via the device’s screen. All data can also be uploaded to our cloud-based data management platform, Palintest Connect, through either USB or QR code data transfer. This means that data is accessible even remotely making traceability and compliance easy.
Test Results in just a Few Clicks
Testing using the Lumiso Expert is quick and easy. The instrument includes a large touchscreen interface, meaning all options are easy to see and access quickly. The user can also select their most-used tests from the test list to create a user-defined favourites list, meaning these tests are easily accessible.
The instrument includes multilingual on-screen test instructions for every test, so that they can be easily referenced when performing a new test or when performing routine testing if required. This saves time referring to paper-based test instructions and avoids confusion as all test instructions are fully illustrated, allowing the user to get to the actual testing faster.
Durable and Robust Check Standards
We have simplified the check standard procedure for our Lumiso Expert photometer. Lumiso Expert check standard kits consist of one blank and one standard, which enables a simpler and quicker testing procedure. NDF (Neutral Density Filters) check standards absorb a similar level of light at all frequencies. Therefore, a single NDF can perform the same checks as the three liquid colour standards traditionally employed.
As the Lumiso check standards are NDFs, this means they are non-hazardous and are stable for longer than a liquid check standard, meaning a longer shelf life. As the NDF is in a protecting casing, fingerprints or marks will not affect the reading in the same way they do when present on the glass tubes of liquid standards. NDF check standards are also not temperature dependent in the same way that liquid standards are calibrated for use only between 20–25 °C.
This all leads to a simpler, quicker, and more user-friendly procedure for confirming your photometer is performing within specification.
Brand New Kit Design
Including all accessories required to carry out testing, the Lumiso Expert kit contains 10 test tubes, 10 crush rods, a dilution tube, polishing cloth, and syringe. The kit itself is made from 85% recycled plastic materials and features a reusable waterproof reagent box which can be used to store reagents purchased with the kit. The waterproof design protects from water damage.
