Can I Use My Own Electronics and Solutions?
Absolutely. Many customers have extensive in-house capabilities and may choose to use their own electronics, calibration solutions, software, or test setups.
However, it is important to understand that doing so can make technical support and troubleshooting more challenging. When Zimmer & Peacock sensors are used with non-standard hardware, software, or reagents, additional variables are introduced into the system. This can make it more difficult to identify the root cause of issues that arise during development or testing.
By using the complete Zimmer & Peacock pH Starter Kit, customers benefit from a fully characterised system that has been designed to work together from day one. This minimises setup time, reduces risk, and enables our technical team to provide the fastest and most effective support possible.
