Introducing the Hanna HALO2 Series

The HALO2 Wireless pH Tester series brings simplicity and sophistication to pH testing using application-specific pH testers suited to various settings and environments.

Hanna HALO2 Series Features & Benefits

• Bluetooth: Bluetooth technology allows straightforward integration with the Hanna Lap App and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
  
  
• IP65 rating: The Hanna HALO2 testers have a high level of water and dust ingress protection that will enable use in many challenging conditions.
  
  
• Specialised electrodes: The electrodes on the HALO2 pH testers are designed using features and materials suited to specific applications to ensure robustness and longevity.
  
  
• Pocket-sized: This line of meters are perfect for on-the-go pH testing. All HALO2 testers can fit easily into a pocket.
  
  
• GLP compliance: The HALO2 Wireless pH testers are GLP compliant, ensuring your meter's quality and integrity of the data collected.
  
  
• Complete kit: The HALO2 testers come with everything required to begin taking highly accurate pH measurements right out of the box.
  
  
• Long battery life: The included and user-replaceable CR2032 lithium-ion battery will provide up to 500 hours of battery life with Bluetooth enabled.
  
  
• No phone, no worries: The HALO2 can be used as a stand-alone pH tester when you do not have a Bluetooth device around.

Features of the Hanna Lab Application

The Hanna Lab App connects to the HALO2 via Bluetooth and converts any smartphone or tablet into a full-featured pH tester. As soon as the Bluetooth probe is connected, users can enjoy pH and temperature measurements at 1-second intervals and all necessary functions like measurement, calibration, logging and sharing. The main features of the Hanna lab app are:

• Real-time data: The lab updates pH and temperature information every second.
  
  
• Data logging: Data is logged and saved on the application for easy sharing.
  
  
• Share data: Data can be exported and shared in CSV or PDF format.
  
  
• Calibration: Straightforward instrument calibration is performed through the application. The buffer value is automatically detected, and the app will remind you when your HALO2 requires calibration again. Calibrate up to 4-points (5 for HI9810402).
  
  
• Autosave: Your data is automatically saved every hour.
  
  
• Annotations: Input custom annotations to saved data points.
  
  
• GLP: View basic or full GLP information within a few simple button presses.
  • Basic GLP: Displays the date and time of the current calibration along with probe offset and average slope.
  • Full GLP: Displays date and time of current calibration, probe offset, and average slope along with calibrated buffers, mV values, temperature and slopes between each buffer.
    
    
• One button sample tagging: Pressing the button on the HALO2 or the probe icon within the application will tag live sample data for quick reference.
  
  
• Table view: Browse all collected information, including any annotations and alarm status, in a continually updated table.
  
  
• Dynamic graphs: View all collected pH and temperature measurements in a graph. The graph can be explored using common mobile gestures such as pinch and zoom.
  
  
• Help is only a click away: The Hanna Lab app features demos, general app information and guidance, HALO2 information, as well as a pH tester maintenance tutorial.
