Conductivity Probes, Accessories and Solutions
Ensure consistent and accurate conductivity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and salinity measurements with Orion conductivity probes. Thermo Scientific Orion DuraProbe 4-Electrode Cell Lab and Field applications provide the highest accuracy for demanding laboratory or field applications with durable and chemically resistant materials; ideal for high and standard conductivity samples and difficult samples such as wastewater, runoff water, and mud. Orion 2-Electrode Cell Probes can measure low, standard, and high conductivity samples, depending on the cell constant. Glass/platinum cells are the best for chemically reactive conductivity samples, since the cell material is highly chemical resistant.
Benefits of 2-electrode and 4-electrode conductivity probes
| Orion 2-Electrode Cells | DuraProbe 4-Electrode Cells |
|---|---|
Orion 2-Electrode Cells are able to measure low, standard, and high conductivity samples, depending on the cell constant. Cells with a 0.1cm-1 cell constant are ideal for low ionic strength solutions, deionized water, and ultra pure water. Glass/platinum cells are the best for chemically reactive conductivity samples, since the cell material is highly chemical resistant. | DuraProbe 4-Electrode Cells provide the highest accuracy for demanding laboratory or field applications. The 4 electrode design compensates for electrode fouling, cable and connector resistance, polarization errors, and fringe field interference errors. The epoxy/graphite cell material is extremely durable and chemically resistant. DuraProbe conductivity cells are ideal for high and standard conductivity samples and difficult samples such as wastewater, runoff water, and mud. |
| The stainless steel body 2-Electrode cell is perhaps our top seller | All have durable epoxy bodies |
| The stainless steel cell is best for ultra pure water measurements | No error from cable resistance, allowing for longer cable lengths |
| Multiple cell materials available - graphite, platinum or stainless steel | Minimum effect on accuracy from electrode polarization and contamination |
| Different cells designed to measure multiple specific ranges | Wide measurement range |
| Option for flow cell or flow-through design | Unaffected by deposits on cell surface |
| Dry cell storage is an added benefit of these conductivity probes | |

Accurately perform USP<645> conductivity methods
Being able to validate the water quality in purified water samples is critical in many industries. Conductivity testing can be a useful indicator in determining water quality and is more reliable and more convenient than wet chemistry tests. Three stages of conductivity testing are described by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP)—each more involved than the last. Being prepared with the right workflows and supplies may seem complicated, but with Thermo Scientific™ Orion™ products and support, you’ll have everything you need to master USP<645> in no time.
Discover the instruments and solutions that will prepare you for this regulation by reading the application note: Measuring the Conductivity of Pure Water Using USP <645>.

Cleaning and storage of electrodes prolongs their life and helps ensure that each reading is as accurate as the last. Pouch and bottled packaging options are available so that you get the results you need in the field or in the lab.
Suitable for ultrapure water measurements, these low-level conductivity standards will help you meet your accuracy requirements. They hold their value due to our high-quality bottle material that is used, which mitigates losses and atmospheric contamination, while others can be affected. For USP <645> cell constant verification and other critical pure water applications, Orion Conductivity Standards are the ideal choice.
