New Water Quality Handhelds with Smartphone Interface

In-Situ Inc. (UK) recently announced two new water quality handheld probes for the environmental market. Both probes interface with the industry's first water quality smartphone application. Environmental professionals can use the new smarTROLL Handheld Instruments to spot check natural surface waters and effluent waters and to conduct groundwater quality sampling.

The unique iSitu App, designed to run on iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, makes it easy for users to email data instantly to their contacts, tag sites with photos and GPS coordinates, quickly calibrate sensors, and log data to their smartphones. By using readily available smartphone technology, instead of proprietary meters, environmental professionals reduce their overall cost of ownership.

In-Situ Inc.'s water quality sensors are extremely durable, hold calibrations for long periods of time, and require minimal maintenance. For example, In-Situ Inc.'s optical dissolved oxygen sensor (RDO Sensor) stands up to daily use, requires infrequent calibration, and uses EPA-approved methods. NPDES permit holders can use both probes for reporting purposes.
