Hach further expands its comprehensive line of HQd digital meters and plug-and-play IntelliCAL™ probes

Loveland, Colo. – Hach Company (www.hach.com) announces the expansion of its electrochemistry offering with the new HQd Benchtop meter and IntelliCAL™ ammonia ion selective electrode (ISE) probe. Designed to accurately test water quality, the Hach HQd benchtop meter and ammonia probe automatically recognize the testing parameter, calibration history, and method settings to minimize errors and set-up time.

The new Hach HQd Benchtop meter enhances productivity by allowing easy switching and set-up of multiple smart probes. Advanced technology also provides simplified data transfer through standard USB ports and two-way communication to both PC and lab automation equipment. Additionally, the quick to set-up meter and the large, backlit screen make results easier to read.

Hach’s new ammonia probe provides for fast and stable measurements. The electrode’s large reference junction provides more surface area for sample contact. This feature, when combined with a high quality sensor, provides fast, consistent measurements. With this new probe, the HQd system can now test ammonia, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, BOD, ORP, and sodium in a variety of rugged and standard options.

“We are excited to be able to provide customers with more options in our HQd family of meters and smart probes, allowing them to set up their testing to best fit their needs and continue to meet regulatory reporting requirements,” Cameron Moyer, Hach Product Manager, stated. “The new benchtop HQd meter and ammonia ISE probe expand a product line that’s designed to take the guesswork out of water analysis.”
