o IP 438
o IEC/BS EN 60814
o API MPMS Chapter 10.9
o ISO 10101-3
o ISO 10337
o ISO 12937

Using the patented ACE control system MINIHYD guarantees that electrolysis current and count rate are synchronized, avoiding regular checks with standards and thus increasing overall sample turnover.

Small, with built-in printer, built-in battery and an optional carry case, MINIHYD fits perfectly in the routine laboratory and fulfills all requirements for field or offshore use.
