Innovative Multiparameter Handheld and Smartphone Application for the Environmental Market Launched

In-Situ Inc. (USA) have announced the new SMARTROLL Multiparameter (MP) Handheld and iSitu Smartphone Application for environmental monitoring applications. Ideal for water quality spot checks, the SMARTROLL MP Handheld can be used for any surface-water monitoring application. No training time is required to use the probe or the intuitive smartphone application. Technicians can instantly read results for 14 water quality parameters by simply using a smartphone—no bulky handheld meter is required.

Environmental professionals can use the durable SMARTROLL MP Handheld to quickly assess water quality. In-Situ Inc.’s unique iSitu App, designed to run on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, makes it easy to email data instantly to co-workers and to log site-specific data to a smartphone. By using readily available smartphone technology, instead of proprietary meters, environmental professionals reduce their overall cost of ownership. The compact SMARTROLL System includes a compact probe with field-tested smart sensors and a clip-on battery pack with Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

“Time and money are valuable resources, and In-Situ Inc. understands that environmental professionals need answers quickly and at their fingertips,” said Jon Firooz, Vice President of R&D and Marketing. “By developing an iPhone app that works seamlessly with our new water quality probe, the smartphone now doubles as a water quality handheld meter, and that’s a smart move for a mobile workforce.”

The SMARTROLL MP Handheld can be used for spot checking, stormwater monitoring, vertical profiling, and low-flow groundwater sampling. The smarTROLL MP System measures dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, ORP, pH, salinity, total dissolved solids, water level, barometric pressure, temperature, and more. The probe features EPA-approved Rugged Dissolved Oxygen (RDO) technology for instantaneous DO determinations.
