NineFocus works best with the diagnostic capabilities of the smart InLab® DES® digital sensors, which make it ideally suited to lab or near production settings.
NineFocus with InLab DES sensors has been designed to meet the most common needs of a lab, improving productivity, lowering operational costs, and delivering accurate and consistent results.
Its versatile modular design ensures intuitive operation while maintaining regulatory compliance. At the same time, the digital sensors’ guided troubleshooting capabilities help this powerful combination of tools reach new heights of measurement performance.

Compelling Precision with Unlimited Possibilities
Designed to Evolve
The instrument’s built-in digital module allows it to measure up to four parameters, meaning that a new meter is not necessary for a different application. Users can simply add a sensor, for example, switching a pH meter to a conductivity meter in a matter of moments.
Additional modules can expand the meter’s productivity, measuring up to four parameters either in a custom sequence or simultaneously. By adding an analog module, NineFocus can also be made fully compatible with analog sensors such as the InLab ISM.

Rapid Problem Solving
InLab DES digital sensors’ diagnostic capabilities allow them to monitor the sensor’s condition closely, enabling step-by-step meter troubleshooting guidance, preventive maintenance, and helping to reduce the need for premature sensor replacement.

Data Protection
NineFocus’ capacity for fully flexible user management allows user groups to tailor any requirement or use case. Role-based access control and user-specific passwords prevent unwanted changes to settings, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Simple Operation
The instrument’s OneClick™ user interface empowers operators to instantly launch custom shortcuts for even the most complicated workflows via a single click on the home screen.
This intuitive design reduces errors, saves time, and improves overall workflow efficiency. Support for 14 languages enables rapid local adoption while minimizing the risk of misunderstandings or mistakes.

Flexible Footprint on the Bench
NineFocus has several versatile placement options as it is not tied to a fixed location. The terminal can be placed in the most convenient and comfortable location, whether on top of or in front of the meter, freely on the bench, or on the EasyPlace™ electrode arm. A range of cable lengths can be used, meaning the system can also be safely operated under a fume hood.

Full Compliance Support
Automatic data transfer to a PC or LabX software ensures accurate transcription and seamless compliance with industry and regulatory standards, including ALCOA++ and CFR 21 Part 11. This compatibility is essential for any pH meter with data logging capabilities.
LabX’s capacity to foster sustainable practices, minimize errors, and enhance precision allows labs to be audit-ready at any time. It ensures full traceability by combining clear audit trails with improved data management.

Sustainable Investment
The InLab DES sensors’ detachable Signal Bridge improves sustainability and reduces material waste. The Signal Bridge hosts the measurement electronics, meaning only the sensor shaft needs to be replaced at the end of its lifecycle.
The Signal Bridge is compatible with different sensor models within the same parameter, so that it can be reused. The sensor cable is also detachable for different workplace setups, so only one cable is required for all sensors.

Resilience
The meter's IP52 rating guarantees protection of its internal components against harmful water drips and dust ingress. This keeps the connector compartment safe, preventing corrosion due to liquid exposure. The control terminal’s cover protects the connector, even from aggressive chemicals, dirt, dust, or fluids.

Flexible Automation
The latest instrument software version, 2.0, allows the NineFocus measurement system to be integrated with the InMotion™ autosampler to increase lab efficiency. The InMotion™ autosampler enables the automated calibration, verification, and measurement of more than 300 samples, considerably improving productivity while helping to minimize the risk of errors.
