Laboratory use, selection notes and method fit

VIKING-EC500 · practical configuration notes

When VIKING-EC500 is a suitable choice

  • When conductivity, resistivity, TDS, salinity and temperature are required in one instrument.
  • When a 7-inch touchscreen and guided user / method management are preferred.
  • When 1–5 point calibration and automatic standard recognition are important.
  • When laboratories need GLP-compliant data storage and log management.
  • When data export, printer connection or auto-sampler integration may be required.

Configuration and method checks

  • Confirm the conductivity range and expected sample matrix before quotation.
  • Select the correct EC electrode and cell constant for the target application.
  • Define reference temperature and temperature coefficient according to the method.
  • Use suitable standards across the expected measurement range.
  • Review reporting, GLP, USB and RS-232 requirements before final configuration.

Important measurement considerations

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.

Water quality

Routine and method-based checks for water, process water and environmental samples.

Production QC
