This line of products is available in a wide range of pH level specifications. Our clients favored the product indicating the broadest range of pH scoring. Since the dyes used as indicators do not contaminate the tested sample, solutions can be reused for further testing without having to resample.

Coming in third is our own TLD brand Yellow Buffer solution pH 7.0 @ 25°C. Customers preferred the mid-range, 4-liter size to the smallest or largest size option.

You will see two more of them in this lineup!

4. Air Science HEPA Filter (ASTS-030)

Filtration fills the next three spots on our list. The Air Science HEPA Filter for powders and particulates also functions in the Multiplex™ system by product model number.
