Consort : What instruments for the measurements electrochemical andthe electrophoresis?

Consort is a Belgian manufacturer of laboratory instruments dedicated to electrochemistry and the control of electrophoresis. Its pH meters, conductivity meters, dissolved-oxygen meters and multiparameter systems, together with its reliable, safe electrophoresis power supplies, equip R&D, quality control and teaching laboratories across Europe. The brand stands out for stable measurements, clear, intuitive ergonomics and traceability features (calibrations, data logging), helping make bench work faster, more accurate and more reproducible.

Several decades of Belgian engineering, serving labs.

Founded in Belgium, Consort has been built on electronic measurement expertise tailored to the real-world needs of laboratories. From its first electrochemistry instruments to the integration of robust, safe electrophoresis power supplies, the brand has steadily expanded its portfolio to cover the key stages of measurement and separation. Its development is driven by a single standard: precision, stability and reproducibility of results. Guided by user feedback — academic labs, industrial R&D and QC laboratories — Consort has refined ergonomics, display readability and data traceability. This pragmatic, continuous approach has earned it a recognised presence across Europe, with instruments that are reliable, durable and easy to use.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

At the heart of the Consort range: )electrochemistry. The brand designs pH meters, benchtop and portable, conductivity/TDS meters, dissolved oxygen meters and systems for multiple parameters to monitor pH, mV, conductivity, salinity, TDS, dissolved oxygen and temperature. The instruments offer multi-point calibration routines, automatic temperature compensation, memory for )logging and exports that support traceability (GLP, USB depending on model). In practice, that means fast-stabilising measurements, controlled drift and clear, readable interfaces suited to day-to-day routines in QC or research.

The second pillar: electrophoresis power supplies. Designed for agarose gels as well as PAGE, they provide constant voltage, current or power modes, programming of methods (steps, ramps), built-in protections (overload, short-circuit detection) and outputs to run multiple chambers in parallel. The goal: consistent migrations, sharp bands and enhanced operator safety.

On the sensor side, Consort offers electrodes and probes suited to demanding matrices: glass pH electrodes for general use, rugged versions for harsh media, cells for conductivity and probes for )dissolved oxygen with a membrane. The portfolio covers the needs of pharma, )agri-food, )environment, chemistry and )education, where reliability matters more than brochure gloss. The Consort difference? Stable electronics, proven robustness and ergonomics that cut errors, for reproducible results day after day.
