30 years of excellence in electrochemical sensor manufacturing

30 Jul, 2021

Published over 4 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Water/wastewater.

Sentek started manufacturing conductivity electrodes in Scotland in 1991, before heading south the following year to be located nearer to the universities in Oxford, Cambridge, and London where they could collaborate in research. 

Sentek then started to make pH electrodes which would be high in quality but low in price, a successful formula which they continue to follow to present day. The Sentek range now includes dissolved oxygen and ion selective electrodes as well as instruments specifically created for use in labs and the food and beverage and swimming pool markets.

After 3 decades, Sentek are now the UK’s largest electrochemical sensor company with over 50,000 units produced monthly. They are still supplying instruments to their first customers from 30 years ago, a true testimony to the quality of their products and the reliability of their service.

Founder Kenneth Petrie said, “We have become an established player in the market and over the last 30 years, have acquired the experience and in-depth know-how to ensure our clients reliable and versatile solutions. We have gathered a strong team, who together, deliver the highest standards and services at all times.” 

Sentek intends to introduce a range of state-of-the-art new instruments for their customers in the near future as well as launching a new, highly user-friendly website.
