HI-2600 pH EC and DO Benchtop meter

HI-2600 pH, EC and DO Benchtop Meter for streamlined laboratory water quality testing

A flexible benchtop platform for everyday multiparameter analysis

The HI-2600 is a practical benchtop solution for laboratories that need dependable measurement of pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature without adding unnecessary complexity to the workflow. Designed around Hanna digital probes, it gives teams a straightforward way to begin with core pH testing and expand into additional parameters as application needs grow.

Designed for routine laboratory performance

This benchtop meter is well suited to water analysis laboratories, colleges and universities, wineries, small to mid-sized production environments, and quality control settings that require repeatable measurements across several key parameters. Its value lies in combining multiple routine tests into one bench instrument while keeping setup, calibration, and operation intuitive for both experienced staff and newer operators.

Documented strengths in daily use

The most clearly documented advantages of the HI-2600 are its large color display, capacitive touch keypad, two operating modes, automatic parameter recognition, data logging, and data transfer capability. Its digital electrode architecture is also a meaningful differentiator for labs comparing benchtop systems, since compatible probes store calibration data, support easier probe changes, and help improve traceability and setup efficiency.

Multiparameter measurement capability

The HI-2600 supports pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature when paired with the appropriate Hanna digital electrodes. This makes it a strong choice for facilities that want one adaptable platform for routine chemistry and water quality checks rather than separate meters for each measurement task.

Expandable digital probe system

The instrument is supplied with the HI11310 digital pH electrode and can be expanded with compatible digital electrodes for ORP, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. This modular approach helps laboratories scale testing capability over time while maintaining consistency in instrument interface and operator training.

Ease of setup and traceability

For laboratories focused on controlled procedures, the HI-2600 offers practical benefits such as auto-sensor recognition, up to five pH calibration points, GLP-oriented data handling, and USB-based data transfer. Because calibration information is retained in the compatible electrode, changing probes can be faster and more manageable in shared lab environments.

What is included

Standard supply information indicates the meter includes the HI11310 digital pH electrode, an electrode holder, pH buffer sachets, cleaning solution, USB-C cable, USB-C power adapter, and quality documentation. This gives laboratories a ready starting point for bench-based pH work while keeping the door open for later expansion into conductivity and dissolved oxygen measurement.
