Handheld reliable meter DMA 35 Basic

• Entry level digital meter

• Small and portable, only 345 g

• For use in tight spaces or hard to reach samples

• Results in seconds from 2 mL of sample

• Fits in your pocket

• Quick sample identification with RFID interface for fast sample recognition, for more convenience and efficiency

The DMA 35 Basic is the entry level handheld density meter that takes samples directly from the storage container with the built-in pump and measures on-site. Results are given as density or concentration, e.g. °Brix, % v/v alcohol, % w/w H2SO4. Because of its small and flat design, hard to reach samples like car batteries stored on narrow shelves or wine samples from stacked wine barrels can be measured.

Handheld density meter vs glass hydrometer

• No sample waste: only 2 mL needed

• Sample taken directly from the container with the built-in pump

• Integrated conversion tables: results in the unit you want without further calculations

• Wide range: one instrument replaces a whole set of hydrometers

• Auto temperature compensation: results in seconds

• Data storage and data transfer: no chance of errors when writing down results by hand

• User independent results

A tough lightweight companion for your whole day

• Lightest density meter on the market

• Flat design, easy to carry and store

• Fits in tight spaces between narrow racks (e.g. in the winery or in battery production)

• Protective case, rubber housing and carrying strap for on-site use
