Conductivity comparison
What the results say…
According to our academic partners, our conductivity meters are extremely accurate!
With our academic partners, we have compared our probe over time (to determine how well it remains calibrated), and as a preliminary study versus professional probes.
Both of these studies are part of work to validate citizen monitoring, and we are always looking for scientists/researchers/students to collaborate with.
