INTRODUCTION
PORTABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR
A compact and portable device that utilizes electrochemical
principles to detect and measure specific pollutants or
compounds in environmental samples.
Designed to be easy to operate, low-cost, and offer high
sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy.
Used for on-site analysis and monitoring of environmental
pollution, providing fast and effective measurements of
compound concentrations in environmental samples.
