MDS-BXS Series Portable water quality tester
MDS-BXS Series Portable Water Quality Analyzer – Comprehensive Photometric Testing for Drinking Water
-Product Overview-
The MDS-BXS Series Portable Water Quality Analyzer is a next-generation handheld photometric instrument engineered for comprehensive drinking water quality testing. Independently developed and manufactured, this portable analyzer covers all photometric testing items specified in China's 106-item drinking water quality standards (97 items in the new national standard)—making it one of the most versatile portable photometers available for water quality professionals.
The global portable water quality analyzer market is projected to grow from US$932 million in 2024 to US$1,288 million by 2031, driven by increasing demand for on-the-spot water quality assessment and real-time monitoring capabilities. The MDS-BXS Series meets this demand with an embedded modular design, built-in high-capacity battery, and Type-C charging and data transmission interface, delivering fast, stable, and reliable results in any field environment.
A proprietary interference compensation algorithm effectively eliminates measurement deviations caused by light decay, ensuring accuracy even under challenging field conditions. The device supports expanded 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth data upload capabilities, and when paired with data management software, enables comprehensive water quality data monitoring and full traceability.
