The Portable Conductivity Meters category brings together products designed to measure physical, chemical or mechanical properties and convert observations into data that can be compared, documented and acted upon. In a working laboratory, the category supports more than a single task because it connects preparation, handling, operation and routine maintenance around the same method.
Instrument suitability, calibration and sample preparation all influence whether a result is repeatable and meaningful. The practical choice therefore depends on accuracy and resolution, sample type, sensor or fixture compatibility, and calibration requirements, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A sound measurement workflow links representative sampling, suitable sensors or fixtures, calibration or verification, controlled testing and reliable recording of results. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in research, quality assurance, manufacturing, environmental, education and service laboratories. As part of the Analytical Measurement and Testing Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Portable Conductivity Meters Range
Our collection covers portable conductivity meters operating principles and applications, these pocket testers measure salinity, when to use a memosens-compatible meter like the portavo 904, and conductivity and tds, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Portable Conductivity Meters operating principles and applications
The Eutech CON 150 often comes as a complete kit with an electrode, while high-end industrial meters like the Knick Portavo may require the separate purchase of a Memosens or analog probe. Selection should take account of accuracy and resolution, sample type, and sensor or fixture compatibility. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. In practice, this supports efforts to produce consistent measurements while keeping calibration, sample handling and documentation aligned. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
These pocket testers measure salinity
Multi-parameter pocket testers like the Thermo Eutech Elite series include pre-programmed algorithms to display salinity based on the measured conductivity and temperature. For routine and specialised work, assess sample type, sensor or fixture compatibility, and calibration requirements. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to produce consistent measurements while keeping calibration, sample handling and documentation aligned. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
When to use a Memosens-compatible meter like the Portavo 904
Memosens technology digitizes the measurement signal directly in the sensor, preventing interference from moisture or cable lengths and allowing you to pre-calibrate sensors in the lab before field use. For routine and specialised work, assess sensor or fixture compatibility, calibration requirements, and data handling. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to produce consistent measurements while keeping calibration, sample handling and documentation aligned. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Conductivity and TDS
Conductivity measures the ability of a solution to pass an electric current, while TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a calculated value representing the total concentration of dissolved substances in the liquid. The most suitable format depends on calibration requirements, data handling, and measurement range. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories produce consistent measurements while keeping calibration, sample handling and documentation aligned. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Featured Brands
KERN and SOHN is known for laboratory balances, microscopes and measurement instruments, Testo is known for portable and benchtop instruments for environmental and process measurement, and Thermo Scientific is known for analytical, life-science and general laboratory instrumentation. Compare each brand by accuracy and resolution, sample type, sensor or fixture compatibility, and calibration requirements, and check what is included with the product so the complete setup is clear before ordering.
Why Choose LabFriend for Portable Conductivity Meters
Choosing laboratory portable conductivity meters often involves more than matching a size or model number. LabFriend's knowledgeable team can help you review accuracy and resolution, sample type, sensor or fixture compatibility, and calibration requirements and check how the product fits with existing equipment, samples and procedures. Our 100% online range keeps competitive pricing and lead-time information visible, while fast and reliable shipping across the UK supports both planned projects and routine replacement orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do portable meters come with sensors included?
The Eutech CON 150 often comes as a complete kit with an electrode, while high-end industrial meters like the Knick Portavo may require the separate purchase of a Memosens or analog probe. For portable conductivity meters, also check data handling, measurement range, and accuracy and resolution so the product fits the complete procedure.
Can these pocket testers measure salinity?
Multi-parameter pocket testers like the Thermo Eutech Elite series include pre-programmed algorithms to display salinity based on the measured conductivity and temperature. Before ordering, confirm data handling, measurement range, and accuracy and resolution and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
Why should I use a Memosens-compatible meter like the Portavo 904?
Memosens technology digitizes the measurement signal directly in the sensor, preventing interference from moisture or cable lengths and allowing you to pre-calibrate sensors in the lab before field use. Before ordering, confirm data handling, measurement range, and accuracy and resolution and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What is the difference between conductivity and TDS?
Conductivity measures the ability of a solution to pass an electric current, while TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a calculated value representing the total concentration of dissolved substances in the liquid. Laboratories should compare data handling, measurement range, and accuracy and resolution and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Which specifications matter most when comparing portable conductivity meters?
The most important points are data handling, measurement range, accuracy and resolution, and sample type. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Before ordering, confirm data handling, measurement range, and accuracy and resolution and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
