A conductivity meter measures the electrical conductivity of a solution, which helps determine its purity, concentration, and ion content. It is commonly used in laboratories, water quality testing, and industrial applications.

It works by applying an electrical current between two electrodes in the solution and measuring the ability of ions to conduct electricity. The meter then displays the conductivity value in units such as microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm) or millisiemens per centimeter (mS/cm).

The VWR Conductivity Meter can be used to measure the conductivity of water, chemicals, industrial fluids, and other aqueous solutions in research, environmental monitoring, and quality control.

Temperature, dissolved solids, and the presence of ions such as salts, acids, and bases can influence conductivity readings. Some meters have automatic temperature compensation (ATC) to adjust for these variations.

Yes, conductivity meters need regular calibration using standard conductivity solutions to ensure accurate readings. Calibration frequency depends on usage and application.

Some conductivity meters can estimate TDS by converting conductivity values using a predefined factor. Check the meter’s specifications to confirm if it has this function.

Yes, most VWR Conductivity Meters are designed with user-friendly interfaces, clear displays, and simple calibration procedures, making them suitable for both professionals and beginners.

After each use, rinse the probe with deionized water to remove residue. Store the electrode properly and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to prolong its lifespan.

Conductivity measures how well a solution conducts electricity, while resistivity measures how much it resists electrical flow. They are inversely related; high conductivity means low resistivity and vice versa.
