<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
if I remember correctly, the main difference was the material (and
chemical resistance) of the tube responsible for the measuring.
Either the Anton or the Mettler has issues in the long run with
keton denatured alcohols, so we decided to take the other for our
collection (which was the Anton, if I remember correctly).<br>
<br>
So it might be worth to compare the construction of the measuring
device, to see if there could be any issues arising from measuring
in the collection (might include also "historic" mixtures of
holding fluids containing various chemical components or
solvents).<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
Dirk<br>
