Sodium Chloride (NaCl) – Important Parameter for Water Quality
Sodium chloride, also known as salt, is an important parameter that influences the salinity of water. In aquaculture and water treatment, it plays a crucial role, as it affects the growth of organisms and the stability of water conditions. Accurate measurement of sodium chloride helps monitor water quality and prevent undesirable changes.
Areas of Application:
-
Aquaculture and fish farming
-
Water treatment
-
Environmental monitoring

Minimum sample volume: 0.12 ml Display of salinity and temperature Up to 2 calibration points Automatic calibration Automatic standard recognition: 0.50 & 5.00 % NaCl Automatic temperature compensation: 2%/°C fixed Temperature calibration: 5 to 40.0 °C 2 salinity curves: NaCl & seawater Automatic stable / hold measurement Automatic switch-off: 30 mins Low battery indicator IP67 rated dust and waterproof Replaceable sensor 400-hour battery life: continuous operation without backlight Material: ABS-epoxy housing and titanium coating with platinum-black sensor Display: custom (monochrome) digital LCD with backlight Operating conditions: 5 to 40°C, 85% or less relative humidity Warranty: 2 years – meter, 6 months – sensor Packaged in a handy carrying case Manufacturer’s item number: 3999960128 Supplied with 0.5% and 5.0% NaCl standards (14 ml each), conditioning solution (4 ml), 2 x CR2032 batteries, pipette, instructions and quick guide Additional information We would like to inform you of an upcoming product update for the LAQUAtwin pocket analysers. To enhance product safety and prevent infants and young children from accidentally swallowing the batteries, HORIBA will be introducing a new battery cover on all LAQUAtwin pocket-sized analysers. Overview of the product change Change: Battery cover for enhanced safety. Reason: To prevent accidental swallowing of batteries. Production date: from January 2026 in Japan Deliveries to EMEA distribution partners: from March 2026 As this change is currently being rolled out, mixed deliveries of the current and updated versions may occur during the transition phase. Please note: The salt exchange sensors, both old and new, are not compatible with each other. Similarly, the conditioning solutions for the old and new versions are not compatible with the respective device variants. How can you tell if you have an older or a new device? If your Pocket Tester is marked ‘4-cell’, you have the latest version of this device. In this case, you will need the replacement sensors listed in the cross-selling section, as well as the standard and conditioning solutions. These have been specially optimised for the new Pocket Testers and are not suitable for older models.

The MA886 digital refractometer uses the refractive index to determine sodium chloride concentration in aqueous solutions used in food preparation. The MA886 is not designed for measuring salinity in sea or aquarium water. Use MA887 for this application.The MA886 utilizes internationally recognized references for unit conversion and temperature compensation. It can display the measurement of NaCl concentration in 4 different ways: g/100 g, g/100 mL, Specific Gravity, and °Baumé.Temperature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement (on 3 of the ranges) on the large dual level display along with icons for "Low Power" and other helpful message codes.With the MA886, you can get a digital readout within seconds accurate to ±2 ppt with automatic temperature compensation (ATC).Design featuresFast, accurate results with digital dual level LED readout Easy measurement with just 2-3 drops of sample needed and results less than 2 secondsAutomatically temperature compensatedSimple one-point calibration using distilled or deionized water Easy to clean, stainless steel sample well with unit rated to IP65 as "dust tight" and protected against water jets Battery percent level indicator with automatic shut-off (batteries included)
