Overview
The Hach sensION+ 5060 Portable Platinum Conductivity Cell is a three-pole platinum conductivity cell with a polycarbonate body and built-in temperature sensor. It has a fixed 1-meter cable and MP5 connector dedicated for use with Hach sensION+ Portable Conductivity meters. The 5060 is ideal for conductivity measurements in general aqueous applications.
Design
The Hach sensION+ 5060 Portable Platinum Conductivity Cell's resilient poly-carbonate body, handle, and MP5 connecter ensure protected performance in the field. Its heavy-duty electrode handle design is optimized for field calibration and storage, as the tubes screw directly onto the electrode handle. This design provides a secure interface between the electrode and calibration/storage tube, reducing the risk of contamination.

What is Conductivity?
UPDATE : Fondriest Environmental is offering their expertise in conductivity through their new online knowledge base. This resource provides an updated and comprehensive look at conductivity and why it is important to water quality. To learn more, check out: Conductivity, Salinity and TDS. 
 
 
 Salinity and conductivity measure the water's ability to conduct electricity, which provides a measure of what is dissolved in water. In the SWMP data, a higher conductivity value indicates that there are more chemicals dissolved in the water. 
 
Conductivity measures the water's ability to conduct electricity. It is the opposite of resistance. Pure, distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. 
 
Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. 
 
Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. 
 
 Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.
