Mission Statement

Our basic goal is continuous improvement all aspects of our business - innovative designs, product development, response to changing markets, customer feedback and support, and business efficiency.

Background

ionode was founded in 1972 by  inventor John Petty in Brisbane, Queensland AUSTRALIA.  The company centralises on the manufacture of quality pH and ion selective electrodes.  Over the years innovative improvements have been made to the manufacturing process, such as automation of the glass blowing process and reference element fabrication.  Plastic components are mass-produced using state of the art injection moulding techniques.  All this adds up to a quality product at an affordable price.
In addition to potentiometric sensors, ionode is involved in the development of new automated instrumentation for water analysis.  Considerable effort has been directed toward development and commercialisation of Discontinuous Flow Analysis (DFA), a form of flow analysis with more emphasis on system calibration and diagnostics.  With over 40 years combined experience in the field of water analysis between three chemists there are constantly new ideas being tested and proposed for commercialisation.  Contact us to find out if we can be of help.
