The Master Science Pocket TDS Tester is a multi-range pen meter for total dissolved solids. Four ranges, 10.00, 100.0 and 1000 ppm and 20.00 ppt, cover everything from purified water to saline solutions, with ±1% of full scale accuracy.
Temperature is shown on the second display line and compensated automatically from 0 to 60 °C. Calibration takes one to three points with automatic recognition of TDS standards, and the conversion factor can be set between 0.1 and 1.0.
