The Horiba LAQUAtwin Na-11 sodium ion tester was specifically designed for accurate measurement of sodium concentrations in a wide range of samples. The device enables direct on-site measurements. Its clear display shows both the Na⁺ concentration and the sample temperature in a single step, making field, laboratory, and greenhouse work significantly more efficient.

Mobile sodium ion tester for precise on-site measurements

Featuring 2-point calibration and automatic standard recognition (150 and 2000 ppm), the instrument can be easily adapted to different measurement requirements. The integrated temperature display and automatic temperature compensation ensure accurate results even under fluctuating environmental conditions.

The robust IP67 housing is dustproof and waterproof, making the tester suitable for demanding daily use. With a battery life of approximately 400 hours, reliable long-term operation is ensured. The tester is supplied with standard solutions, sampling sheets, batteries, and matching pipettes for immediate use.

Why sodium measurement matters – and why a handheld tester is the ideal solution

Measuring sodium ions plays a crucial role in water, environmental, food, and agricultural analysis. Excessively high or low sodium concentrations can significantly affect water quality, soil structure, plant growth, and the quality of food products and drinking water. Regulatory limits and quality standards further require regular monitoring.

A mobile sodium ion handheld tester enables fast and precise analysis directly at the point of use, without time-consuming sampling or laboratory analysis. The Horiba LAQUAtwin Na-11 combines this flexibility with high measurement accuracy and ease of use, making it ideal for routine monitoring, quality control, and research applications.

Typical applications for the Horiba sodium ion tester

• Environmental monitoring: Measurement of sodium concentrations in surface and groundwater to assess water quality and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
• Food and beverage production: Testing sodium levels in food and beverages for quality assurance, product development, and regulatory compliance.
• Agriculture: Monitoring sodium content in irrigation water and soils to support plant health and optimize water management.
• Research & development: Use in laboratories for experimental studies on sodium ion behavior under varying conditions.
• Education: Utilized in schools and universities to demonstrate the use of ion-selective electrodes in analytical chemistry.
