YSI, a Xylem brand, announced the addition of yet another meter to its highly successful, growing line of Professional Series instruments.

The field-worthy YSI Pro1030 “is rugged and reliable,” says Tim Grooms, YSI Director of Water Quality Products. “It provides ease of use in a handheld instrument for the measurement of either pH or ORP, along with temperature, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS).”

YSI engineers have included customer-friendly features into the Pro1030, such as user-replaceable pH and ORP sensors, cables, and a convenient calibration. In addition, its ruggedness is backed up by military-spec connectors, IP67 waterproof and rubber over-molded case, and 1-meter drop tests. A super-stable 4-electrode conductivity cell is built into the cable, and the cells are easy to clean, requiring minimal maintenance.

“Clearly,” adds Grooms, “The YSI Pro1030 is designed to remain accurate and operational for years, even in the harshest field conditions. This rich feature set gives the Pro1030 a low total cost of ownership, which is what YSI customers have come to expect.”

Additional features include:

• Smart calibration routine allows easy calibrations with the press of a button, remembers previous cal values and simply walks you through the calibration
• Stores 50 data sets
• Graphic, backlit display and glow in the dark keypad
• Available with 1, 4, 10, 20, or 30-meter cables (4-meter and longer cables include cable management kit)
• Display is legible while wearing polarized sunglasses
• Multiple languages include English, Spanish, French and Portuguese
• User-replaceable pH or ORP sensors and cables
• Conductivity cell built-in
• 3-year instrument; 2-year cable warranty; 1-year pH and ORP sensor warranty

pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis. Find the best pH meters and electrodes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
