Myron L® offers a variety of ULTRAPEN™ pocket testers, each featuring simultaneous measurement of Temperature and one critical parameter: PT1 and PTBT1 measure Conductivity, TDS, and Salinity; PT2 and PTBT2 measure pH; PT3 and PTBT3 measure ORP; PT4 and PTBT4 measure Free Chlorine Equivalent (FCE); PT5 and PTBT5 measure Dissolved Oxygen (DO); PT6 and PTBT6 measure Nitrate.

PT1 and PTBT1 instruments are engineered with a proprietary conductivity cell that delivers accuracy of ±1% of reading and ±0.2% of reading at calibration point.

PT2 and PTBT2 instruments employ a proprietary sensor with a large KCl reservoir for extended life. The user can choose to perform a 1-, 2-, or 3-point calibration. Accuracy is ±.01 pH.

PT3 and PTBT3 proprietary sensors are constructed of a 99.9% pure platinium electrode. There are 3 calibration options with automatic solution recognition. Measurement accuracy is ±10mV.

PT4 and PTBT4 determine the chemical activity of a solution without the hassle and subjectivity of colorimetric and test-strip methods. These instruments feature a proprietary sensor and accuracy of up to ±0.3 ppm FCE™.

PT5 and PTBT5 instruments are accurate to ± 2% of reading with 3 calibration methods: Water Saturated Air; Air Saturated Water; and 0 ppm DO. Readings are adjustable for altitude and salinity and display in concentration, % saturation, or both.

PT6 and PTBT6 measurement method is compatible with EPA Approved Standard Method 4500-NO3— D. The user can select either a 1- or 2-point calibration option and choose from one of 4 standard solutions depending on the application. Readings display as Nitrate, Nitrogen, or mV.

pH, ORP, FCE, DO, and Nitrate sensors are all user replaceable.

Original PT Series instruments feature one-button programmability, measurements, and calibration while the new PTBT Series pairs with most Android™ or iPhone® Bluetooth® enabled devices allowing the user to control settings, measurements, calibrations, and data reporting tools from the PTBTX2™ mobile application. Later, the user can email data in .csv, .xls, .xlsx, or Myron L Company’s proprietary encrypted format, .mlcx, compatible with Guardian2 software.

All ULTRAPENS are compact, lightweight, dust-tight, and waterproof with fully encapsulated electronics and bodies of rugged aircraft aluminium.
