This dual-function Pen Meter offers accurate salinity and temperature readings, making it an ideal resource for environmental science, marine biology, and general chemistry education. With a wide salinity measurement range of 0.0 to 80.0 ppt and temperature detection from 0.0 to 99.0 °C, this versatile tool is suitable for a variety of classroom and field-based investigations. Whether monitoring salt concentration in aquatic habitats or comparing temperature variations across samples, students will benefit from this hands-on, real-world testing experience.

Built to withstand classroom demands, the meter features a rugged ABS housing, IP67 waterproof rating, and automatic shutdown to preserve battery life. The protective sensor cap and included wrist strap enhance safety and durability, while the LCD display offers clear readouts for both parameters. This compact and efficient meter empowers students to work independently or collaboratively as they conduct scientific observations and record their findings.
