LOVELAND, Colo. — As part of its extensive electrochemistry product line, Hach Company now offers MP Meters that work without probes. These meters allow single-handed operation and the rapid testing of pH, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential), conductivity, resistivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and temperature. MP Meters use integrated sample cups for efficient high throughput testing compared to external probes.

“Ease of use is key with this new meter,” Thom Voll, Hach’s Director of Laboratory Systems, explained. “Whether in the lab, plant or in a remote field location, measurement requires only two steps: (1) fill the cell cup and (2) push a parameter key to take the reading.”

Users can take reliable readings without the need for repetitious calibration. Typical calibration frequency ranges from two weeks to a month, depending on individual testing needs. To calibrate, the user simply presses one button and adjusts the instrument to the standard’s value. With the exception of factory-set temperature, all parameters feature an internal electronic setting that can be used for field calibration and as a quick check on pH/ORP sensor life.

MP Meters also deliver high performance with a superior accuracy of ±1 percent due to an advanced four-electrode conductivity cell technology, a unique replaceable pH/ORP sensor, and powerful microprocessor-based circuitry. Additionally, three pre-programmed common salt profiles in every instrument provide unsurpassed accuracy for conductivity, resistivity, and TDS measurements across a wide variety of sample matrices.
