HORIBA LAQUAtwin EC-33 Pocket Conductivity Meter 0‑199.9 mS/cm Range

Description

Product Overview

The HORIBA LAQUAtwin EC33 is engineered for professionals who demand precise water quality data in a portable format. Built in Japan, this pocket‑sized instrument combines conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and temperature measurement in a single device. Its measurement range spans 0 to 199.9 mS/cm, translating to a TDS range of 0 to 9,900 ppm, making it suitable for fresh, brackish, and seawater applications. The meter features an IP67 waterproof rating, guaranteeing protection against dust ingress and immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, which is essential for field work in harsh environments. The LCD display includes a backlight for clear reading in low‑light conditions, and the device operates on two CR2 batteries that provide long‑lasting power.

The EC33 incorporates automatic temperature compensation (ATC) and up to three user‑defined calibration points. Calibration solutions of 1.41 mS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm are supplied, and the meter can automatically recognize the solution type, simplifying the calibration process. A replaceable sensor ensures long‑term accuracy, and the sensor itself carries a 2‑year warranty, extending the overall product warranty to 2.5 years. The instrument’s compact dimensions (7 × 4 × 7 inches) and lightweight design (6.56 oz) make it easy to carry in the included plastic storage case.

Usage

The EC33 is designed for a wide range of water‑related industries. Environmental monitoring teams use it to assess river and lake water quality, while aquaculture facilities rely on its rapid readings to maintain optimal conditions for fish and shrimp. Municipal water treatment plants employ the meter for routine checks of source water and finished product compliance. In the food and beverage sector, quality control personnel use the EC33 to verify the conductivity of brewing water, dairy processing streams, and cleaning solutions. Its waterproof construction allows users to submerge the probe directly into large tanks, streams, or wells, and the low sample volume requirement (as little as 0.12 ml) enables testing of scarce or precious water sources.

The device’s intuitive interface requires only a few button presses to switch between conductivity, TDS, and temperature modes. The backlit LCD provides instant readings, and the automatic calibration feature reduces the time spent on setup, allowing technicians to focus on data collection and analysis. The included accessories—batteries, calibration solutions, a 4 ml conditioning bottle, a plastic pipette, and a user manual—ensure that the meter is ready for immediate deployment out of the box.
