HYDROLAB water quality instruments and software help environmental scientists and managers monitor important changes in watersheds by providing continuous, trusted water quality data.
Since we introduced the industry’s first multiparameter water quality probe for field use in 1968, we have consistently produced high-performing instruments and software solutions designed for real-world functionality.
Today, HYDROLAB products are created for accuracy, usability, and ease of use. Our sensor designs provide long-term, continuous monitoring, portable, flexible spot monitoring, and short-term study support.
HYDROLAB sondes are known for sensor diagnostics and comprehensive metadata information to provide traceability on valuable data. Users can reduce the risk of errors with calibration history and safeguard field measurements with smarter verification methods.
Easy-to-use software tools support decision making, minimize errors, and increase efficiency by streamlining data collection and calibration tasks in the lab or at deployment locations. HYDROLAB is part of OTT HydroMet, a subsidiary of Veralto Corporation, and is now one of the strong global product brands that make up OTT HydroMet.
Learn how we support monitoring programs through proven sensor technology, versatile and durable sonde design, and intuitive software.
Our HL7 and HL4 sondes include intuitive software for unmatched usability, exceptional power performance and diverse sensor options, all delivering high data quality and reliability.
Depth measures absolute hydrostatic pressure from an internal diaphragm. Sensors are optimized for depths down to 25 m, 100 m, or 200 m.
This powerful software tool helps to make better decisions, minimize errors, and increases efficiency in the lab and on the deployment site.

Discover the ways we are supporting surface and groundwater monitoring through reliable data. We offer water quality monitoring instruments for: lake and reservoir profiling, river and stream surveys, coastal monitoring, groundwater studies, wetland management, harbor and port investigations, aquaculture protection and much more.
We offer multiparameter sondes for the measurement of water quality either in spot sampling or unattended continuous deployment.
From long-term unattended monitoring to spot sampling, HYDROLAB multiparameter sondes offer rugged and flexible options for water quality measurement. Choose from compact options for easy spot sampling and groundwater measurement or a more robust sonde with diverse sensor and anti-fouling options.
HYDROLAB multiparameter sondes have several sensor options for nutrient measurement as well.
Read how our instruments are making a difference in the world through customer success stories.
In this project, water quality data collected by the HYDROLAB DS5X and Hach Nitratax sensors played a key role in the study of freshwater mussels and the nitrogen cycle. The sensors measured highly time sensitive data in large scale systems despite harsh aquatic conditions.
Nitrate-loading data are essential for assessing amounts of nitrate entering streams from farm fields. A research institute at the University of Iowa uses this data to track statewide water quality conditions in real-time to populate models to evaluate water quality and volume, while enabling end user analyses to identify nitrate-rich water sources.
Observing the elements is key to better understanding our planet. This blog tells the manifold stories of experts working in environmental monitoring with help of our sensors and solutions.
Learn how the team at CMSWS, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and OTT HydroMet came together to implement an extensive watershed-level monitoring program.
Turbidity is one of the most talked about parameters in environmental
water quality monitoring, yet the details around turbidity measurement are not always known or fully understood. Use our guide below for a better understand of all thing’s turbidity!
The nitrogen and phosphorus pollution of water has the potential to become a significant environmental problem. Our recent whitepaper deals with this topic and discusses possible solutions.
