Introducing NineFocus Meter With InLab DES Sensors

For Compelling Precision and Unlimited Possibilities in pH, Conductivity, DO, and Ion Measurements

In modern laboratories, making smarter decisions and supporting sustainable growth requires reliable, efficient, and regulatory-compliant technology. While measurements like pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and ion concentration may be routine, they are critical to ensuring the accuracy and integrity of analyses across many industries—from pharmaceuticals to food and beverages. That's why METTLER TOLEDO has developed a new pH measurement system designed not only to deliver precise measurements but also to enhance and streamline your entire laboratory workflow to the next level.

Paired with the InLab™ DES™ digital sensors' guided troubleshooting, this dynamic duo sets a new standard for outstanding measurement performance.

NineFocus™: Precision and Versatility for Modern Laboratories

Built around labs’ core priorities, NineFocus™ is a high-performance, multiparameter benchtop meter for compelling precision and unlimited possibilities in pH, conductivity, ion concentration, redox, and dissolved oxygen determinations. The modular meter is at its best with the smart, digital InLab™ DES™ sensors for peace of mind in the lab or near production. The NineFocus system is engineered to enhance productivity, lower operational expenses, and ensure consistent, precise measurements. Featuring a modular design and user-friendly operation, it also supports full regulatory compliance. Paired with the InLab™ DES™ digital sensors' guided troubleshooting, this dynamic duo sets a new standard for outstanding measurement performance.

Core Strengths and How They Benefit You

Designed to Evolve: At the heart of NineFocus™ is a built-in digital module capable of measuring up to four parameters. This flexibility means that switching from one application to another doesn't require purchasing a new meter—simply change the sensor. For instance, converting a pH meter to measure conductivity is straightforward. Productivity can also be scaled by adding extra modules, allowing up to four parameters to be measured simultaneously or sequentially as per the user’s needs. The addition of an analog module further extends compatibility, enabling the use of analog sensors such as InLab™ ISM.

Fast Problem Solving: The diagnostic capability of the InLab™ DES™ digital sensors continuously monitors the sensor condition. It provides clear, step-by-step troubleshooting guidance on the meter, facilitating preventive maintenance and helping reduce the risk of premature sensor replacement.

Ensuring Data Integrity: NineFocus™ boasts flexible user management capabilities, allowing administrators to customize user groups according to specific requirements. This system safeguards settings through role-based access controls and user-specific passwords, supporting strict adherence to regulatory standards and industry compliance.

Intuitive Operation: With the OneClick™ interface, operators can launch customized shortcuts to complex workflows instantly from the home screen, saving time and minimizing the chance of errors. Supporting 14 languages, this user-friendly interface promotes quick local adoption and reduces misunderstandings.

Flexible Footprint on the Bench: NineFocus™ offers versatile placement options that accommodate diverse lab setups. Whether positioned in front of, atop, freely on the bench, or mounted on the EasyPlace™ electrode arm, the terminal adapts to user preferences. Various cable lengths provide safe operation even under fume hoods.

Resilient and Reliable: Constructed with an IP52 rating, the meter is protected against dust ingress and water drips, ensuring durability. A dedicated connector compartment prevents corrosion caused by liquid exposure, while a protective cover shields the control terminal from dust, dirt, and chemical spills.

Comprehensive Compliance Support: Automatic data transfer to PC systems guarantees accurate data transcription, facilitating seamless compliance with regulatory requirements like CFR 21 Part 11 and ALCOA++, essential for pH meters featuring data logging.

Sustainable and Cost-Effective: The InLab™ DES™ sensors promote sustainability by reducing material waste through a detachable Signal Bridge that houses measurement electronics. Only the sensor shaft requires replacement at end-of-life, while the Signal Bridge remains reusable across various sensor models within the same parameter. Additionally, a single detachable sensor cable serves multiple sensors, optimizing workplace setup and reducing expenses.

By integrating these features, NineFocus™ and InLab™ DES™ sensors provide a robust solution for modern laboratories, ensuring precision, efficiency, and compliance in every measurement.
