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.

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), based in Tallahassee, Florida, is the highest-rated public Historically Black College or University in the United States. FAMU’s School of the Environment (FAMU-SOE) offers BS and BA degrees in Environmental Studies, and BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science, with specialisms available in areas including Environmental Policy and Risk Management, Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecology, and Biomolecular Sciences. In 2021, FAMU-SOE deployed a NexSens CB-450 buoy in Apalachee Bay, a key oyster farming area around 30 miles south of Tallahassee. The buoy has quickly been incorporated into the curriculum, providing environmental insights for student research, the community, and beyond. Dr.
Read MoreMonitoring Habitat Suitability and Water Quality in Northwest Arkansas Springs
Northwest Arkansas has seen an economic, industrial, and population boom in recent years as a result of expanding businesses, which have created thousands of jobs in the region and the mass migration of employees and construction companies. However, with this growth has come rapid urbanization and the degradation of the natural landscape, specifically the freshwater springs that can be found throughout the region. These springs are critical habitat centers for native wildlife, home to threatened and endangered fish, and those that have yet to be listed. Zach Moran, Assistant Professor of Fisheries Science at Arkansas Technical University, is working to help monitor these habitats and provide key data that will hopefully inform future development in the region.
