Solinst Eureka Water Quality Sondes

Established in 2002, Solinst Eureka is a global leader in designing and manufacturing multiparameter water quality sondes. We offer the largest selection of sensor technologies for multiprobes in the industry.

In addition to the latest technology for measuring common parameters such as temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and depth, Solinst Eureka provides specialty sensors including PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), Total Dissolved Gas, as well as a long list of fluorometers.

The Trimeter and Manta Probes are multiparameter sondes designed for monitoring water quality in fresh, brackish, and marine environments. All sondes can be used for discrete sampling and profiling or self-powered datalogging. Real-time data is available through cloud-based software when connected to a telemetry station.

Users can operate the Trimeter and Manta Probes with various display options via a direct or Bluetooth® connection. Intuitive control software, compatible with Windows, iOS, and Android™, is included at no additional cost with every probe. Our sondes communicate via RS-232, SDI-12, or MODBUS, allowing flexibility in connecting to various dataloggers and PLCs.

Since Solinst Eureka offers the largest selection of water quality sensor technologies in the industry in addition to standard configurations, each probe may be customized for your specific application. Pick sensors to fully populate larger probes. Add a battery pack to convert a probe to a logging device.

All Trimeter and Manta Probes feature anti-corrosive housings and sensors, robust marine bulkhead connectors, and anti-fouling options. LED status indicators on each sonde provide essential diagnostic information. Each probe comes with an industry-leading 3 year warranty.

 

Trimeter

Solinst Eureka’s compact, low cost Trimeter is designed for projects that require the same high-quality features of a Manta+ probe, but fewer sensors.

Water Quality Probe Sensors

The highest quality sensor technology, for unsurpassed accuracy and reliability.

Temperature

Solinst Eureka instruments measure temperature with a thermistor – a small semiconductor whose electrical resistance varies predictably with temperature.

pH

pH is measured with a pH sensor and reference electrode. The pH sensor is a small, glass bulb filled with an electrolyte of known pH.

Turbidity

Turbidity is an indication of the amount of light that will pass through a column of water. Clear waters have low turbidity; waters with high suspended solids have high turbidities.

Transmittance

A transmissometer measures the percentage of light transmitted along a fixed path. Solinst Eureka integrates 3rd party transmissometers, which are mounted externally to the Manta multiprobe.

Dissolved Oxygen

Solinst Eureka optical DO sensors use blue light that is directed to an oxygen-active compound which has been stabilized in an oxygen-permeable polymer. The blue light causes the oxygen-active compound to fluoresce

Conductivity

The easy to clean, flow-through design of the Solinst Eureka conductivity sensor is superior to those with electrodes partially hidden in a recess.

Pressure

An absolute depth sensor (pressure transducer), or vented depth sensor, may be added to any Manta or Trimeter multiprobe, along with other sensors.

Total Dissolved Gas

Solinst Eureka’s TDG sensor is similar to others in the water quality monitoring industry. However, Solinst Eureka is one of the few multiprobe manufacturers that offers a TDG sensor that may also be installed on a multiprobe along with additional sensors, such as dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH and conductivity.

CO2

Solinst Eureka’s CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) sensors are the best of their kind for portable, water-quality instruments. Although it is a large sensor, it may be installed in the MantaPlus 40 multiprobe along with other sensors such as dissolved oxygen, pH and conductivity.

ISE Ion-Selective Electrodes

Solinst Eureka’s flowing-junction reference electrode provides better long-term stability than gelled-electrolyte reference electrode. The reference electrode is easily rejuvenated by unscrewing the tip, filling the sensor with fresh electrolyte, and screwing the tip back into place.

PAR

Most PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) sensors when coupled with multiparameter water quality sondes need additional mounting brackets, or cages, to hold the PAR sensor in place. This is not necessary for Solinst Eureka’s PAR sensors, as they are connected to the body of the sonde. For convenience, Solinst Eureka’s PAR sensors may be removed and replaced with a water-proof plug when not in use.
