Plastic ATC Cond probe

WhatsApp Order

The Plastic ATC Cond Probe is a rugged, 4-ring conductivity and temperature sensor designed for use with compatible benchtop and portable meters. Featuring a durable epoxy body and an integrated temperature sensor, this single probe automatically corrects conductivity readings for temperature fluctuations (ATC), simplifying measurement of ionic content in pharmaceutical water, dialysis fluids, and biological samples.

The 4-cell graphite design minimizes polarization, ensuring high accuracy across a wide measuring range—from 0.1 µS/cm for high-purity water up to 350 mS for saline solutions. For the laboratory professional, this probe offers a low-maintenance solution for verifying water quality and monitoring buffer concentrations, supporting critical applications in renal dialysis, pharmaceutical compounding, and chemistry analysis. For the patient, consistent and accurate conductivity testing ensures the safety and efficacy of water purification systems and the chemical composition of essential treatment fluids.

Description

Plastic ATC Cond Probe

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Conductivity and Temperature Measurement of Biological Fluids

Primary Use: Provides a combination conductivity electrode with a built-in automatic temperature compensation (ATC) sensor (typically a 4-ring or 4-cell graphite/platinum design) housed in a durable plastic (epoxy) body. It measures electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature simultaneously in liquids, ranging from purified water up to 350 mS for saline and high-ionic-strength solutions.
How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist and medical technologist, the 4-ring design eliminates polarization effects, allowing accurate measurement of conductivity in complex biological fluids (e.g., urine, dialysis fluid, saline). The integrated ATC sensor automatically corrects readings to a standard reference temperature (usually 25°C), eliminating calculation errors and improving the reproducibility of diagnostic testing. For the patient, accurate conductivity measurement is essential for assessing electrolyte balance (e.g., monitoring urine concentration in kidney disease) and verifying the quality of dialysis solutions.

2. Quality Control of Purified Water and Dialysis Solutions

Primary Use: Designed for high-accuracy measurement of resistivity/conductivity in purified water systems, water-for-injection (WFI), and hemodialysis solutions, with temperature compensation essential for USP compliance.
How it helps: For the healthcare facility water quality manager and dialysis technician, the epoxy body provides high chemical resistance, ensuring reliable conductivity measurement in aggressive media and compatibility with Clean-In-Place (CIP) protocols. For the patient, continuous monitoring of dialysis water conductivity prevents patient exposure to improper electrolyte concentrations or microbial contaminants in renal replacement therapy.
