Hanna Copper Low Range Pocket Checker
A precise, portable solution for low‐range copper testing in water

- Accurate low‐range copper testing using EPA‐based method
- Compact, user‐friendly design with simple 4‐step operation
- Ideal for water quality, aquariums, education, and environmental use
What is the Hanna Copper Low Range Pocket Checker?
The Hanna Copper Low Range Pocket Checker is a handheld colorimeter designed for accurately measuring low concentrations of copper in water. It serves as a simple, cost‐effective, and more precise alternative to traditional chemical test kits. Using an adaptation of the EPA method, it reacts with a bicinchoninate reagent to produce a purple tint in the presence of copper, allowing for easy quantification.
Key Features:
- Compact, palm‐sized design for portability
- High accuracy: ±10 ppb ±5% of reading
- Single‐parameter focus for copper testing
- Automatic power‐off after 10 minutes of inactivity
- Built‐in timer for timed reaction measurements
