Instrument name for water sampling and analysis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying a scientific instrument set for water sampling and analysis used by a high school science club in Indonesia. The user describes a kit containing various measurement tools for TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD, and pH levels, connected to a mini-computer. The identified product is the ScienceCube by KoreaDigital Co., Ltd., which includes a digital manual for each sensor. The instruments are designed for accurate water quality measurement and data transfer via a touchscreen interface.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of water quality parameters such as TDS, BOD, COD, and pH levels.
  • Familiarity with scientific measurement instruments and their calibration.
  • Basic knowledge of data transfer methods between sensors and computers.
  • Experience with touchscreen interfaces and software applications for data analysis.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and features of the ScienceCube by KoreaDigital Co., Ltd.
  • Learn about the calibration techniques for pH meters and other water quality sensors.
  • Explore best practices for water sampling methods and data collection.
  • Investigate additional water quality measurement tools and their applications in environmental science.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, science club leaders, environmental scientists, and students interested in water quality analysis and scientific instrumentation.

TL;DR
I want to do water sampling and analysis. My high school biology lab have the Instrument, but I don't remember the name. I'm on a holiday right now and I can't find any Instrument that matches with what I've seen in my biology lab.
Hello, thank you for your attention in my thread.

I'm the head of Youth Science Club on one of the many High School in Indonesia, I got many members and I want to guide them for doing water sampling and analysis. In the history of my high school, no one is able to do water sampling and analysis due to lack of interest among the students or lack of knowledge and practice using scientific instruments.

I want to change that and by doing so, I need to know what the name of the tools are!

The description is as follows :

1. The tools I assumed comes with a set. There's a black bag containing a mini-computer and some cables, presumably VGA and power cable. After examining the mini-computer, I found that there's a heck load of white boxes containing different kinds of measurement instruments. Instruments such as for measuring TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD, pH levels.
2. I've tried the instrument once in a while, from what I remember, in each of the white boxes lies a piece of paper that describes correctly how to use the measurement tool, how to calibrate it, etc. There's also a cable that connects the tool to the mini-computer.
3. The majority of the tool, however, is a long, black rod. Kind of like an enlarged pen. One of the tool, that measures the pH level of a solution, I've used once. You must dip the tip of the tool (not too deep, not too shallow) and let it sit for at least 5 minutes for an accurate reading.
4. Different from the other tools is a tool that (I think) measure the turbidity of a solution. It's like a rice cooker but smaller or a Google Home but it's black. Same with the other tools though there's a cable that connects the tool to the mini-computer for transferring the data.
5. The data that is received from the tool, is shown in the mini-computer. There's a touchscreen pen and you must open an app that specifically designed to read data from different kinds of measurement tools.

If you kindly help me with the name of this scientific instrument based on what I've described, I will be very grateful! I will be happy to provide more details if you ask me to.

What your describe it is not a single instrument, more like a complete set of equipment with several separate instruments controlled by a computer - if it will have any name, it will be a brand one.

Parts of your description fit ORP meter with ion selective electrodes.

Thank you for your response!
I see. If I may ask, what are the popular brands that might fit my description? I've search images of "ORP meter with ion selective electrodes" and the images fit perfectly with what I've seen in my biology lab.

Also, I forgot to mention that the mini-computer is white-coloured surrounded by blue borders.
 
Update :

After asking one of my seniors about the kit, he said it was named ScienceCube and surprisingly, Korean. I quickly surfed the internet and luckily found a brand called KoreaDigital Co.,Ltd. The product they offering is 100% matched with what I've seen in the biology lab. They even provide a digital version of the manual book on the website for each sensor.

Thank you anyway for your help!

A BOD robot? Interesting if true.
