VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETER · 340–900 nm
HI802 iris® — Scan, Insert, Read.
The new portable spectrophotometer with built-in barcode reader, automatic method recognition, and 256-reading averaging. From wastewater to drinking water, get lab-grade results — anywhere.
Scan, Insert, Read — that's the whole workflow.
No manual setup. No method-code lookups. The built-in barcode reader identifies what you’re measuring the moment you scan the vial.
- Barcode reader auto-identifies the analytical method
- 29 pre-dosed vial methods recognized out of the box
- Insert vial, press READ — the instrument does the rest
- Eliminates operator setup errors
Cuvette Rotation
Fingerprints, scratched glass, optical imperfections – they happen. HI802 takes 256 absorbance readings per measurement while rotating the cuvette, then automatically discards outliers.
- Cuvette rotates during measurement for full optical sampling
- 256 absorbance readings averaged per sample
- Statistical outliers automatically discarded
- Lab – grade repeatability – even in the field
Electronic ZERO
The ZERO value is automatically stored and remains valid for all subsequent measurements, even if the method is changed or the instrument is turned off. Simply insert the vial and press READ. The instrument will automatically recognize the method and perform the measurement directly.
Performing a new ZERO is recommended when:
- A new batch of reagents is used (as per ISO standards)
- The sample is highly turbid or colored
Split - beam optics for stable readings
A reference beam continuously compensates for ambient light fluctuations and lamp drift. The result: stable, consistent measurements in conditions where single-beam instruments would drift.
- Reference beam compensates for ambient light changes
- Stable readings in non - ideal field conditions
- Tungsten halogen source, 340 - 900 nm range
250 methods.
Whether you’re testing wastewater, drinking water, pool water, or running custom protocols – HI802 covers it. One instrument, every cuvette type, hundreds of methods.
- 29 barcode-recognized methods + 150 factory methods + 100 user-defined
- Compatible with 13, 16 and 22 mm round vials
- Compatible with 10 and 50 mm rectangular cuvettes
- Wastewater, drinking water, and field analysis ready
System Check
When the instrument is powered on, a system check is performed to ensure the light source is functioning correctly and the optical system is calibrated. This check includes a “zero” light scan. If any issues are detected, the instrument will display a warning.
Thanks to this feature, you can rely on accurate measurements and be confident that the instrument is functioning properly, eliminating the need for additional testing.
Memory for Up to 9,999 Measurements
The instrument can store up to 9,999 measurements. Data can be easily transferred to a PC or Mac in CSV or PDF format. No software is required—just plug in a USB drive and export the data.
Saving files in PDF format ensures that the data cannot be altered, providing enhanced integrity. You can also program an ID for the instrument and an ID for the sample, which will be saved alongside the measurements for better traceability.
Dual Power Supply
This instrument features two power sources:
- It can be powered via the standard electrical network.
- It is also equipped with a long-lasting rechargeable lithium battery.
The battery allows for up to 8 hours of continuous operation or a maximum of 3,000 measurements. Additionally, the battery acts as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This means that in case of a power outage, analysis can continue, and measurement data can still be saved.
Easily Portable for Field Use
- Compact size: The instrument has a small footprint, roughly the size of an A4 sheet.
- Battery-operated, making it ideal for on-the-go measurements.
Thanks to the Barcode Reader and Electronic Zeroing, it’s even more convenient to measure a range of important parameters in the field, including:
- Suspended Solids (SST)
- Nitrates
- Ammonium
- Phosphorus
- Chlorine
- And many others.
This portability and ease of use make it an excellent choice for field applications.
