HACH 4942500 Carrying Case

Description

Product Overview

The HACH 4942500 Carrying Case is a purpose‑built suitcase designed to meet the rigorous demands of laboratory professionals who require reliable protection for their spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and associated reagents. Constructed from high‑impact polymer with reinforced corners, the case delivers a balance of lightweight portability (weighing just 2.6 pounds) and robust durability. Its internal layout features a custom‑molded foam insert that cradles the instrument, preventing movement and absorbing shocks during transit. The exterior includes a water‑resistant zipper system and a sturdy latch that secures the case closed, while the integrated handle offers ergonomic grip for comfortable carrying over long distances. Dimensions of 14.5 × 7.5 × 6.8 inches provide ample space for the instrument, accessories, and a selection of reagents without excess bulk, making it an ideal companion for field measurements, classroom demonstrations, and routine lab relocations.

Beyond its physical construction, the case incorporates thoughtful design details such as a detachable interior divider, allowing users to customize compartments for pipettes, cuvettes, and calibration standards. A built‑in label pocket enables quick identification of the contents, and the interior surface is treated with an anti‑static coating to protect sensitive electronic components from static discharge. The case meets the National Stock Number 8145‑01‑620‑7942 specifications, ensuring compliance with institutional procurement standards and facilitating easy inventory management for large research facilities.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the HACH 4942500 Carrying Case serves a broad range of applications across academic, industrial, and environmental testing environments. In a teaching laboratory, instructors can safely transport a spectrophotometer between classrooms, ensuring that students have reliable access to calibrated equipment for each session. Field technicians conducting water quality assessments can pack the case with a portable spectrophotometer, reagent bottles, and disposable cuvettes, then travel to remote sites knowing the instrument is protected from drops, dust, and moisture. In industrial settings, quality‑control teams can move the case between production lines to perform on‑site colorimetric analyses, benefiting from the case’s quick‑access interior that reduces downtime. The case also supports compliance with biosafety protocols; its sealed interior helps contain any accidental spills, protecting both the instrument and the user.

Because the case is lightweight yet sturdy, it can be carried by hand, placed in a vehicle trunk, or loaded onto a rolling cart for extended transport. The ergonomic handle reduces strain during repeated lifts, and the compact footprint fits easily into standard laboratory storage cabinets when not in use. Whether the user is a graduate student, a field analyst, or a senior laboratory manager, the case provides a reliable, ready‑to‑go solution that streamlines workflow and protects valuable analytical equipment.
