Your Guide to the OHaus Starterpen Handheld and Portable Meters Series
OHaus StarterPens series is an affordable line of handheld and portable meters. There are instruments to accurately measure pH, conductivity, salinity, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen(DO), and total dissolved solids (TDS).
To help you find the best OHaus StaterPen for your needs, Instrument Choice Scientists examined the differences they found with each meter. We set out the results in easy-to-read tables.
About OHaus
OHaus started as a scale repair business in 1907. They are now a world leader in the manufacture of an immense range of scales and balances. In 2015, OHaus launched a new line of laboratory and water quality measuring products that included water quality meters, electrodes, centrifuges, shakers, incubators, mixers, block heaters, hot plate stirrers, and more.
Today, we spotlight OHaus Starterpen water quality meters.
OHaus Starterpen Series
OHaus StarterPen meters are simple to operate, portable, waterproof, and durable. Meters will withstand dropping, resist water ingress, and maintain performance in rugged environments. You can select a Pen meter to accurately measure pH, conductivity, salinity, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen(DO), and total dissolved solids (TDS).
The StarterPen series consists of two main groups, ST10 and ST20. The ST10 products are basic instruments that do not offer temperature measurements. The ST20 line includes features such as temperature compensation, temperature measurements, and operators can calibrate most models.
OHaus StarterPen pH Meters
Two models of StarterPen pH Meter are available. Both provide a straightforward and convenient way to measure the pH of any liquid solution.

OHaus StarterPen ORP Meters
OHaus offers two models capable of calibrating Oxidation-reduction potential (i.e., ORP), an evaluation of the ability of a lake or river to cleanse itself or break down waste products. The availability of electrons in a liquid is the determinant of ORP levels. The IC-ST10R and IC-ST20R products can measure ORP in virtually any environment, while you are “on the go.”

Damage to crops from frost remains a widespread problem for horticulture, cropping, and many other agricultural industries. While frost occurs relatively infrequently in Australia, it is a high consequence event, responsible for damages that runs into the millions.
HOBO frost alarm systems help monitor and minimise this risk. They are ideal for growers who manage their operations remotely. The advanced kit, when used with a relay output module and a user-supplied autostart controller, not only warns of frost, but also automates irrigation, fans, or sprinkler systems to reduce its impact.
A thermistor is a two terminal resistive transducer which changes its resistive value with changes in surrounding ambient temperature, hence the name thermal-resistor, or simply “thermistor”. NTC thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose resistance exhibits a large, precise and predictable decrease as the core temperature of the resistors increases over the operating temperature range. They are primarily used as resistive temperature sensors in probes and current-limiting devices. NTC thermistors are often coupled with other devices such as dataloggers.
