Pyxis SP-380 PTSA + Fluorescein Handheld
Dual-channel handheld fluorometer measuring PTSA (0-300ppb) and Fluorescein (0-600ppb) with colour and turbidity compensation.
Pyxis SP-380 PTSA + Fluorescein Handheld
The Pyxis SP-380 is a dual-channel handheld fluorometer that directly measures PTSA (0-300ppb) and Fluorescein (0-600ppb), the tracer chemicals commonly used in industrial cooling, boiler, and process water applications. Samples fill directly into the cell, removing the need for cuvettes, while proprietary algorithms compensate for colour and turbidity contamination to keep readings accurate.
Description
The Pyxis SP-380 is a dual-channel handheld fluorometer that directly measures two common water treatment tracers — PTSA (0-300ppb) and Fluorescein (0-600ppb) — in a single device. It is suited to industrial cooling, boiler, and process water applications where tracking treatment chemical feed via fluorescent tracers is standard practice.
Water samples fill directly into the sample cell, removing the need for cuvettes, while proprietary internal algorithms compensate for colour and turbidity contamination that can otherwise distort readings. A turbidity over-range alarm adds an extra layer of protection against unreliable results.
The large colour graphic screen includes a LOCK-IN feature for a stable reading, and the water-proof, drop-resistant housing is built for daily plant-floor use. Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless customisation via the uPyxis app, making the SP-380 a practical field tool for treatment programs relying on either tracer chemistry.
Why Use This
Dual-Tracer Convenience
Measuring PTSA and Fluorescein in a single device saves operators from carrying two separate meters for cooling, boiler, and process water tracer monitoring.
Accurate in Real-World Water
Colour and turbidity compensation, along with a turbidity over-range alarm, help keep readings reliable despite common sample contamination.
Applications
- Industrial cooling systems — tracking PTSA or Fluorescein tracer levels for treatment dosing
- Boiler water treatment — verifying tracer-based chemical feed programs
- Process water applications — routine field verification of tracer concentration
FAQ
What can the SP-380 measure?
It measures PTSA from 0-300ppb and Fluorescein from 0-600ppb in a single dual-channel device.
Do I need sample cuvettes?
No, water samples fill directly into the sample cell, eliminating the need for cuvettes.
How does it perform on non-ideal water samples?
Proprietary algorithms compensate for colour and turbidity contamination, and a turbidity over-range alarm flags samples that could skew results.
What powers the device and how long does it last?
It runs on four AA batteries, rated for approximately 3,200 readings.
