Budget-friendly, on-the-go pocket testers for your sample analysis

Thermo Scientific pocket testers provide budget-friendly on-the-go electrochemical testing. Choose from three models to measure conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity and temperature.

Elite CTS pocket testers

Elite CTS pocket testers are accurate, durable and IP-67 waterproof with a large backlit graphic screen, one-touch calibration and replaceable sensor heads. Select the Elite CTS cup-sensor to read samples using a fillable tester or the Elite CTS pin-sensor to read samples using a direct-insert tester. They are ideal for testing food, beverages, hydroponics, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, cooling towers and more.
