Hanna Instruments Conductivity/TDS Testers

Conductivity meters measure conductivity (EC) as expressed in "micro-Siemens" or total dissolved solids (TDS) expressed in either parts per million (ppm), or parts per thousand (ppt), so you can determine solution strength without regard to "buffers" and other chemical agents added to maintain pH.  Conductivity is important for water conditioning and treatment, environmental, and electro-plating applications.  In hydroponic gardens and farming, greenhouses and aqua culture, measurement assures the proper level of fertilizer is being dosed. 

All units are rugged, pocket-size, battery operated (batteries are included), and have LCD displays.  They measure directly with no need to remove messy samples.

Conductivity/TDS Testers

We offer a variety of economical testers so that you will be able to select the unit best suited for your needs.

Combination Conductivity/TDS Testers

Hanna's line of combo meters gives you the ability to measure two or more essential parameters, using a single, reliable and economical instrument.  All are waterproof and have replaceable electrodes for the primary usage.

Calibration Solutions

Calibration solutions are essential to keeping your meter reading accurately and reliably.  The bulb in a pH meter is a semi-permeable glass membrane with a reference solution inside.  Over time, the reference solution changes, and the calibration solution is used to adjust the meter to these changes.

There are three common pH values:  4.01 (acid), 7.01 (neutral), and 10.01 (alkaline).  Two point calibration with 4.01 and 7.01 or 7.01 and 10.01 gives the most accurate result  But if the values you expect to read are right around one of these values, you may be able to use just one.

A few drops of the storage solution placed in the cap of the meter help to keep it moist, and minimize the change to the reference solution.
