Yes – IP67 rated, including while connected and powered over USB, and impact tested with an abrasion- and chemical-resistant coating.

YSI 9800 Photometer

Q: What parameters can it measure?

Over 30 pre-programmed tests plus parameters you define yourself – the parameter is set by which Palintest reagent you use.

Q: What range and resolution will I get?

Both depend on the reagent for that parameter and are not published on this page. Tell us which parameters you run and we will confirm before you order.

Q: Does it work for seawater?

Yes, but the ammonia test needs the YAT1707 ammonia conditioner in saltwater. Confirm other parameters against the reagent method before relying on them in a marine system.

Q: How much data does it hold?

1,000 data sets, each stored with the result, data ID and user for traceability and compliance.

Q: What comes in the box?

The photometer, a hard-sided case with foam cutouts for instrument, accessories and reagents, and a waterproof USB cable. Reagents are ordered separately.

Q: Where do I buy the reagents?

From the YSI Palintest Photometer Reagents and Spares page – most parameters come in 250-test packs, with nitrate and low-range phosphate in 200-test packs.

A handheld photometer for testing water quality parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate on site.
