Nänikon, Switzerland – September 30, 2025 – METTLER TOLEDO announces the launch of NineFocus™, its new high-performance, multiparameter benchtop meter system. Designed for laboratories and near-production, it measures pH, conductivity, ion concentration, and dissolved oxygen with compelling precision. It is at its best with the smart InLab® DES® digital sensors with diagnostic capabilities.

Designed to meet common laboratory demands, the new multiparameter measurement system focuses on boosting productivity, reducing operational costs, and delivering consistent, accurate results. It offers a modular design, emphasizes intuitive operation, and supports regulatory compliance. Together with the guided troubleshooting of the InLab DES digital sensors, this power duo raises the bar for exceptional measurement performance.
Designed to evolve: The built-in digital module measures up to four parameters, which means that for a different application, no new meter is required, only a sensor. That makes it easy to turn a pH meter into a conductivity meter, for example. The meter's productivity can be expanded with additional modules to measure up to four parameters either simultaneously or in a custom sequence. By adding an analog module, NineFocus becomes fully compatible with analog sensors (e.g. InLab ISM).
Fast Problem Solving: The diagnostic capability of the InLab DES digital sensors monitors the sensor condition, provides step-by-step troubleshooting guidance on the meter, facilitates preventive maintenance, and helps prevent premature sensor replacement.
Data Integrity: The fully flexible user management of NineFocus enables to tailor user groups to suit any need or situation and protects settings from unwanted changes with access control based on job roles and user-specific passwords, thus supporting compliance with regulations and industry standards.
Simple Operation: The OneClick™ user interface allows operators to launch custom shortcuts for even the most complex workflows instantly with a single click on the home screen to save time, minimize errors, and enhance overall workflow efficiency. Supporting 14 languages, it ensures fast local adoption and helps prevent misunderstandings or mistakes.
Flexible Footprint on the Bench: NineFocus is not tied to a fixed location but offers versatile placement options, allowing the terminal to be positioned wherever it is most convenient and comfortable —in front of the meter, on top of it, freely on the bench, or mounted on the EasyPlace™ electrode arm. With various cable lengths, the system can be operated safely even under a fume hood.
Resilient: The meter's IP52 rating guarantees protection of its internal components against harmful dust ingress and water drips. The connector compartment keeps the connectors safe and prevents corrosion from exposure to liquids. With a protective cover, the control terminal is protected from dust, dirt, or fluids such as aggressive chemicals.
Flexible Automation*: The new NineFocus measurement system offers flexible integration with the InMotion™ autosampler to increase efficiency in the lab. Its capability for automated calibration, verification, and measurement of over 300 samples significantly boosts productivity while minimizing errors.
Full Compliance Support: NineFocus offers automatic data transfer to a PC or LabX software, ensuring accurate transcription and seamless compliance with industry regulatory standards such as CFR 21 Part 11, and ALCOA++, which is vital for any pH meter with data logging capabilities.
Sustainable Investment: The InLab DES sensors enhance sustainability and reduce material waste due to their detachable Signal Bridge, which hosts the measurement electronics. This means that only the sensor shaft needs replacement at the end of its lifecycle, while the Signal Bridge – which is compatible with different sensor models within the same parameter - can be reused. And while the sensor cable is detachable for different workplace setups, really only one cable is needed for all sensors.
