GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SPECIFICATIONS
The HI 96765 meter measures the light absorbance of animal blood plasma: the absorbance
value allows identification of the plasma quality.
Display codes aid the user in routine operations.
The meters have an auto-shut off feature that will turn the instrument off after 10 minutes of non-use.
This instrument has been developed to measure centrifuged animal blood, coming from abattoirs.
The quality of the blood is checked by measuring its color, expressed in Quality Units. When the
blood cells are damaged, haemoglobin is found in the plasma, which causes high readings. The
lower are the readings in Quality Units (less color), the higher is the blood plasma quality.
This Hanna specialty meter reads directly the blood plasma quality from 0 to 10 units.
