Hanna Instruments : What instruments for measuring pH, conductivity and other physicochemical parameters?

Hanna Instruments is a leading name in measurement instruments for both laboratory and field work. From pH to conductivity, from dissolved oxygen to photometry and titration, the brand meets the needs of life sciences, quality control, environmental monitoring and the food and beverage sector. Its strength: reliable, easy-to-use solutions, from the pocket tester to the high-end benchtop instrument, with traceable calibration and application support. For modern labs, Hanna combines metrological accuracy, field-ready robustness and outstanding value in use.

Measurement excellence since 1978

Founded in 1978, Hanna Instruments was born from a simple, powerful idea: to make accurate chemical measurement accessible to as many people as possible. The launch of the iconic pHep – the pocket pH tester – democratised daily checks. Over four decades, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include bench-top pH meters, photometers, turbidimeters and automatic titrators, while bringing design, manufacturing and reagents in-house. Innovation continues with HALO Bluetooth electrodes and the edge multiparameter meter. With European manufacturing and a network of subsidiaries across many countries, Hanna blends a strong manufacturing culture with meticulous documentation and responsive local technical support.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Hanna is recognised for mastering the entire measurement chain, from sampling through to actionable data. In pH measurement, the brand offers pocket testers, portable meters and connected benchtop models, paired with dedicated Foodcare electrodes (cheese, meat, wine, beer) and versions for R&D and QC. pH and conductivity buffer solutions for calibration are supplied with COA and NIST traceability, available in bottles or single-use sachets to safeguard series measurements. In physico-chemical analysis, conductivity/TDS/salinity, dissolved oxygen (galvanic or optical) and turbidity measurements cover both drinking and environmental water as well as food & beverage and pharmaceutical processes. On the analytical chemistry side, photometers and Checker colorimeters enable rapid determinations of key ionic parameters, while automatic titrators address acidity, alkalinity, chloride and core oenological analyses. For education and fieldwork, portable solutions and HALO electrodes, driven by the Hanna Lab app, streamline data capture and traceability. Finally, the brand focuses on robustness, ease of use and after-sales service: clear documentation, application guides, and maintenance and calibration kits. Quality certifications such as ISO 9001, CE compliance and reagents meeting European requirements ensure safe use in the modern laboratory.
