Multi-sensor nutrient system debuts at Horti Fair


CleanGrow introduced its new multi-ion measurement system capable of analyzing up to six ions simultaneously during this week’s Horti Fair in the Netherlands.

The product combines a carbon nanotube-based sensor with a multi-ion meter for on-site measurements and real-time feedback. Currently optimized for horticultural applications, the easy-to-use instrument is also a natural fit for other applications where existing sensor technology falls short of meeting complex measuring requirements. For growers, it offers a “lab-in-hand” solution – a quick and affordable way to maintain the proper nutrient balance required for better yield, improved flavour and colour, greater disease resistance and longer shelf life. Early users include research institutes and commercial vegetable greenhouses.

The CleanGrow product is one of 10 shortlisted by Horti Fair for this year's prestigious Innovation Award. The solution offers a new class of technology that greatly broadens the range of testing options and is available in two probe configurations. One is capable of measuring up to six essential ions simultaneously while the other can measure up to four.
