Hanna Instruments, Inc. introduces the edgeblu pH meter that uses HALO pH electrodes with Bluetooth® Smart technology
Hanna Instruments is pleased to announce the release of edgeblu, the world’s first pH meter that uses pH electrodes with Bluetooth® Smart technology. Free yourself from wires when taking pH measurements. The HI2202 edgeblu pH meter uses Hanna’s HALO™ pH electrodes with Bluetooth® Smart technology (Bluetooth 4.0) that connect wirelessly to edgeblu or a compatible iPad® running the Hanna Lab App.
The edgeblu is thin and lightweight, measuring just 0.5” thick and weighing less than 9 ounces. edgeblu has a 5.5” LCD with an incredibly wide viewing angle and a sensitive capacitive touch keypad. The versatile design of edgeblu makes it equally at home in your hand, on a lab bench, or mounted on a wall. edgeblu is simple to configure, calibrate, measure, log, and transfer data to a computer or a USB drive. The edgeblu includes Hanna’s exclusive CAL CheckTM feature to warn if the HALO pH electrode being used is not clean or if the calibration buffers are contaminated. A probe condition indicator is displayed after calibration showing the overall state of the pH electrode.
Each edgeblu is supplied with the HI11102 HALO Bluetooth® pH electrode. The HALO uses Bluetooth® Smart Technology (Bluetooth 4.0), which is energy efficient and allows the probe to operate on a single CR2032 battery for approximately 500 hours. The HI11102 HALO pH electrode is a double junction, gel filled, glass body pH electrode with a built-in thermistor temperature sensor, allowing readings to be automatically compensated for temperature variations. The HI11102 HALO pH electrode transmits measurement data up to 10 meters. Each HALO pH electrode is automatically detected the edgeblu or an iPad running the Hanna Lab App, transferring pH sensor type, serial number, and calibration data.
The Hanna Lab App is a free application that turns the iPad into a full-featured pH meter when used with a Hanna HALO pH electrode. Functions include calibration, measurement, continuous data logging, graphing, and data sharing. Measurement and logging of pH and temperature at one-second intervals start as soon as the probe is connected. Measurements can be displayed with tabulated data or as a graph. The graph can be panned and zoomed with the iPad’s pinch-to-zoom technology for enhanced viewing.
“Part of our mission as instrumentation designers is to utilize the latest advancements in technology,” said Matthew Denicourt, Product Manager for Hanna Instruments. “The edgeblu and HALO pH electrodes do exactly that. As the Bluetooth® technology is commonly used, it is the improvement in low energy usage of Bluetooth 4.0 that has allowed us to take advantage and start using the technology with electro-analytical sensors. The use of sensors without being tethered to a meter is the future”.
Hanna’s new edgeblu supplied with the HALO Bluetooth® pH electrode is available through any of our 44 international sales offices as of June 30th. Our offices provide Hanna customers with local service, support, and training, and are part of Hanna’s goal to provide an exceptional customer experience. iPad and Apple are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
