Technology at Holland Sensor

Pushing the frontiers of water quality measurement

Innovation

Unmatched precision with Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) Technology

At the heart of Holland Sensor’s product line lies our revolutionary Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) technology. This advanced material, characterized by its exceptional hardness and chemical inertness, ensures unmatched durability and reliability in water quality sensing. The BDD sensor’s electrochemical prowess is enhanced by its ability to conduct electricity when doped with boron atoms, making it a superior choice for detecting a wide range of substances, including heavy metals, in water.

With pride, Holland Sensor is convinced to be world’s first company that managed to incorporate the complex BDD in a full-functioning, user-friendly digital instrument.
