VIKING-EC500 is a benchtop conductivity meter for laboratories that require accurate, repeatable and traceable measurement of conductivity, resistivity, TDS, salinity and temperature.
The instrument combines a 7-inch high-contrast color LCD touchscreen, up to 5-point calibration, automatic/manual temperature compensation, GLP-compliant logging, data management and USB / RS-232 communication.
Broad EC range and temperature compensation support routine and method-driven water analysis.
GLP logging, data review and communication interfaces support traceable QC workflows.
Multi-point calibration and selectable compensation settings support more demanding conductivity methods.

Conductivity measurement depends on electrode cell constant, temperature compensation settings, calibration standard condition, sample matrix, sample temperature and probe cleanliness. The wide conductivity range of VIKING-EC500 makes the instrument suitable for both low and high conductivity laboratory samples, but method suitability should always be checked against the expected range and acceptance criteria.
For SOP-compliant workflows, GLP logging, method management, review / compare / recalculate functions and export options help laboratories maintain traceability, reduce rework and document repeatable results.
Routine and method-based checks for water, process water and environmental samples.
Conductivity and TDS monitoring in food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical workflows.
Advanced data handling and selectable compensation settings for demanding laboratory work.
COLO.Science can support selection of conductivity meters, EC electrodes, calibration standards and accessories for water quality, QC, research and routine laboratory measurement.
A VIKING-EC500 product video can be added later. It should present the touchscreen interface, EC calibration workflow, conductivity / resistivity / TDS / salinity measurement routines, electrode connection and data export options.
