Multi-ion sensor
CleanGrow introduced its multi-ion measurement solution capable of analyzing up to six ions simultaneously. It combines a carbon nanotube-based sensor with a multi-ion meter for on-site measurements and real-time feedback. It offers a “lab-in-hand” solution — a quick and affordable way to maintain the proper nutrient balance required for better yield, improved flavor and color, greater disease resistance and longer shelf life. The CleanGrow multi-ion sensor is available in two probe configurations. The standard six-ion probe can measure ammonium, calcium, chloride, potassium, sodium and nitrate. The four-ion probe measures ammonium, calcium, chloride and potassium. Probes can be ordered to measure a combination of up to six of a wide range of ions. READER SERVICE #61
