Are you looking for research grade equipment?
The quality of your research results can only ever be as good as the quality of the equipment used to conduct your research. With this in mind, you are no doubt familiar with the old adage: "Rubbish in, rubbish out!".

Whether you need to determine: the thermal gain of new building materials, the shell temperature of an African snail or temperature fluctuations on the antarctic seabed, let us assist you in sourcing the most appropriate equipment and technology for your needs.

We've supplied data loggers for use in the most extreme and unusual conditions as well as the more benign (or not!) laboratory  environments.

Rest assured that, being manufacturers of temperature sensors, we are more than happy to provide you with custom sensors, built to your specifications, in

Do you need to maximise building performance whilst reducing energy costs and consumption?

You probably know that your best chance of success is to gather solid, objective energy performance data‚ from the boiler room to the rooftop.

Research shows that savings of between 5% - 30% on energy costs are commonplace once measurements are being recorded.

Our range of data loggers measure kilowatt hours, air temperature, relative humidity, AC and DC voltage and current, motor and lighting time-of-use and more to help you manage energy consumption optimally.

You will be able to:

• Track building energy use
• Monitor equipment runtimes to ensure efficient operation
• Verify energy cost savings to determine ROI of new equipment
• Diagnose causes of occupant comfort

Back in January we told you about Jennifer Loxton's trip to the Antarctic to study environmental conditions beneath the waves using HOBO U24-002 Data Loggers. Now she is back, and published some fantastic underwater pictures!

"You may think that not much can survive in the challenging conditions of the Antarctic, but here I would like to share with you some pictures from my recent diving experiences on the West Antarctic Peninsula and introduce you to some of the creatures that live there so join me in a virtual dive in Antarctic chilly waters..."

Be sure to check out some of the fantastic photos on her Twitter page.

About Jennifer Loxton's research
With such harsh conditions, have you ever wondered how marine creatures have evolved to survive at the bottom of this ocean? Have you ever considered whether things were the same in the times of great polar adventurers, like Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen

We're delighted to announce the new HOBO UX90 Series of data loggers. With the introduction of the UX90 range of HOBO data loggers, Onset can now boast the industry’s lowest-cost, most comprehensive family of “time-of-use” data loggers.

The new toolbox suite includes LCD-display data loggers for measuring motor on/off status, electronic pulses, state changes, and occupancy and light use patterns.

• LCD displays On-time or % On, providing instant feedback
• Auto-calibration & signal strength indicator ensure proper deployment
• 84k or 346k measurement capacity enables longer deployments with fewer site visits
• Rare Earth Magnets, 3M Command™ Strips or mounting tabs for reliable mounting
• Flexible logger Start and Stop options
• HOBOware® Pro’s time-saving features allow for

Thankfully, we don’t have to brave the extreme conditions that Jennifer Loxton, of Heriot-Watt University, will be facing in Antarctica. She is awarded funding for a project investigating the effects of climate change there, and will be making use of the HOBO U24-002 Conductivity/Salinity Data Loggers supplied by us.

Onset's new UX120 4-channel energy data logger combines the functionality of four separate data loggers into one compact unit. Enabling energy management professionals to track energy consumption, equipment runtimes, and water and gas flow rates.
