hanna test kits

Post by oldgit »

hi couple of questions.im looking at buying one of the hanna testing things.i know everyone seems to go for the C200 36 parameter colorimeter which is expensive.do we really need to know all the results from this one?
on hanna website they have a few cheaper ones less test parameters of course but i still think it has the important ones needed.
what do you think of this one(C203 Multi-parameter Photometer for Aquaculture) its half the price of C200 36 parameter colorimeter.
any thoughts
cheers darren

Hi Darren

You can but the C203 Multi-parameter Photometer for Aquaculture from

sales@hannainst.co.uk I bought one from them it arrived in a week

the final cost was £327.69. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else

it's got all the reagents supplied with it (for the first 100 tests)

Best Regards
