Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about measurement instruments? Find answers here or contact our product team for help.

How can I verify the instruments are original and not refurbished?
Every unit ships with original factory serial number, manufacturer warranty registration, and traceable calibration certificate. We support official brand verification via serial number check before payment balance.
Are you an authorized distributor of AZ, HORIBA, TES, HANNA and METTLER TOLEDO?
We are an official instrumentation integrator and authorized supplier for AZ Instruments, HORIBA, LANDTEK, CHNSPEC, SCIENTZ, TES, HANNA and METTLER TOLEDO product lines, covering environmental testing, analytical lab and process analysis.
Do the AZ data loggers come with calibration certificates?
Yes. AZ87799, AZ8836x Bluetooth loggers etc. include factory calibration certificates; NIST-traceable or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited third-party calibration reports are available on request.
Which data logger should I choose for vaccine/food cold chain transport?
For cold chain we recommend AZ88165 (ultra-low temperature USB logger, PDF auto-report) or AZ88361 Bluetooth dual-channel logger with ±0.3°C accuracy. Both generate PDF reports without software — ideal for pharma GDP compliance.
Can you help me select the right instrument for my application?
Yes, our engineers provide free selection support: e.g., HVAC — AZ8723/AZ7755 (CO2+RH+temp); aquaculture — AZ86032/8403 (DO+pH+salinity); lab color — CHNSPEC TS8503/DS series; water plant — HANNA HI83399 (COD). Share your parameters for a one-page spec match.
What is the warranty and after-sales repair policy?
Standard warranty: 12–24 months depending on brand (HORIBA/METTLER TOLEDO per official policy). We provide China factory repair channel, spare probes/sensors (pH, DO, EC), and lifetime technical support via email/phone.
Do you offer OEM/labeling service or project bundling quotes?
Yes, we support government/lab tender bundling: multi-brand instrument packages with unified quotation, training, and commissioning. Custom OEM private-label instruments are available for AZ-compatible models at 500+ pcs.
How fast can you deliver, and do you export worldwide?
Stocked AZ/TES/CHNSPEC models ship in 3–7 days; HORIBA/METTLER TOLEDO systems in 4–8 weeks. We export to 30+ countries with full export documentation, CE/ISO compliance, and DDP/DAP shipping terms.
What's the price of AZ88362 Bluetooth PDF logger vs ELB/OCEASOFT?
AZ Bluetooth PDF loggers offer comparable ±0.3°C accuracy to premium European brands at roughly 40–60% lower cost, with free app (Android/iOS) and no software-subscription fees. Contact us for a volume price list.
Where can I source multi-brand temperature, humidity and environmental measurement instruments?
Gerteise supplies multi-brand measurement instruments, including AZ Instrument products, for temperature, humidity, HVAC, laboratory, and environmental monitoring applications.
Which measurement instruments are suitable for HVAC commissioning and cleanroom monitoring?
HVAC commissioning and cleanroom monitoring may require anemometers, differential pressure meters, temperature and humidity meters, and data loggers, depending on measurement requirements.
What is the difference between a colorimeter and a spectrophotometer?
A colorimeter is commonly used for routine color checks and comparisons when its measurement method suits the sample. A spectrophotometer measures spectral information and may be more suitable for detailed color analysis, tighter matching requirements, or broader quality-control workflows. The right choice depends on the material, required data, tolerance, and measurement conditions.
Which CHNSpec instrument is suitable for plastic color quality control?
For plastic parts with a suitable flat measurement area, a portable colorimeter or spectrophotometer may be appropriate. Irregular shapes, small parts, translucent samples, and pellets may require different measurement geometries, sample preparation, or accessories. Confirm the sample type and measurement area before choosing a model.
Should I choose a portable or benchtop spectrophotometer?
Portable instruments are convenient for incoming inspection, production-floor checks, and supplier visits. Benchtop instruments may be preferable when samples can be prepared consistently and the workflow requires a fixed measurement setup. Compare sample size, measurement geometry, throughput, and data requirements.
Can one CHNSpec instrument measure both color and gloss?
Some CHNSpec models integrate color and gloss measurement, while other instruments focus on one measurement task. Confirm the exact model, measurement geometry, supported gloss angles, and required data before assuming one device can replace two instruments.
Which instrument should I use for metallic or special-effect coatings?
Metallic and special-effect coatings can look different depending on viewing and illumination angles. A multi-angle spectrophotometer may be needed when the visual effect must be characterized across angles. Confirm the coating type and customer acceptance method first.
