Cardy Compact Ion Meter from Horiba

Anatomy of a breakthrough
The Foundation : Over 35 years of careful, painstaking research, development and craftsmanship.
The Technologies : A careful integration of recent advances in microprocessor, miniature electronic and ion selective electrode designs.
The Result : A completely new concept in sample measurement; self-contained digital meters and the size of a shirt pocket sized calculator that deliver high quality answers, on the spot, for instant assessment and quick decisions with a minimum of effort.

These additions to the Horiba line of shirtpocket meters measure sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+) with superb selectivity and ease. They use the same flat surface design for the sensing element found in the Cardy pH and Salt meters. Results are read real-time in direct concentration terms, so you can forget fiddly conversion tables and calculations.

Two types of compact ion meter

Revolutionary flat sensor adds convenience
The flat sensor built into Cardy's replaceable module makes the measurement in small samples and solids much more convenient. The recess acts as its own sample vessel, often eliminating beakers and bottles altogether. What's more, if replacement is ever needed, the sensor cartridge snaps in and out of the instrument at a touch.

Integrated design couples economy with quality

A whole Cardy system -meter, sensor and standards -costs much less than most ion-selective electrodes. The replacement sensors are many times less expensive. You even economize on samples and solutions since you need only a few drops to make the measurement. Cardy meters are high quality, low upkeep measuring instruments.

Ultra-slim, ultra light shirtpocket portability enhances convenience

The size and weight of cassette tapes, Cardy meters slip neatly into your shirt pocket. They are the portable instruments for simple, quick measurements wherever and whenever needed.

Automatic range switching affords broad measurement range

All two Cardy ion meters have a total display range of 0 - 99 ´100 ppm in three automatically switched ranges: the ´1 range, the ´10 range (100 to 990 ppm) and ´100 range (1,000 to 9,900 ppm). This gives the meters a broad display range and makes it easy to get precise results across measurement ranges of 23 - 2,300 ppm Na+ and 39 - 3,900 ppm K+
Newly developed ion selective electrodes improve durability

New high molecular weight polymers are longer lasting and more resistant to contamination, giving you more troublefree service and saving money on replacements.

HOW TO USE THE CARDY

Milk (direct method) Drip the sample directly onto the sensor		Saliva (sampling sheet method) Soak a sampling sheet in the sample and place on the sensor.		Fruit (direct method) Place sample directly on the sensor.		Plant tissue (direct method) Grind the plant tissue in a mortar and put it onto the sensor.
Soil (extraciton method) Mix soil and extraction colution at the specified ration and mix throughly. Put a few drops of this sample directly on the sensor.				Exposed metal surface(sampling sheet method) Wipe a measured surface area with a sampling sheet soaked in pure water and place this on the sensor.
