Description
HI-6421 Advanced Dissolved Oxygen Optical Benchtop Meter
The HI-6421 DO optical meter from Hanna Instruments provides an accurate and reliable laboratory-grade solution for measuring dissolved oxygen, oxygen uptake rate, specific oxygen uptake rate and biochemical oxygen demand in both freshwater and saltwater samples. This benchtop meter is equipped with an optical dissolved meter, while the HI-6421/P is supplied with a polarographic DO probe.
The HI-7641133 Opdo optical dissolved oxygen probe is included with the HI-6421. This probe is fitted with easy-to-use Smart Caps (HI-764113-1), which lock into place and contain pre-loaded calibration coefficients that transmit automatically to the probe. Each Smart Cap features an immobilised O2-sensitive luminophore within a rugged, insoluble black oxygen-permeable protective layer.
As the optical components of the sensor age, the measuring path is compensated with the reference signal. This ensures the HI-6421 DO benchtop lab meter provides accurate dissolved oxygen measurements over long periods without frequent calibration.
HI-6421 Laboratory DO Optical Meter Features
Space-saving, modern design
The HI-6000 series is designed to fit into modern laboratories, with a smaller footprint and simple design featuring a large, capacitive touchscreen that is functional even with gloves on. WiFi and ethernet connectivity and a flexible electrode arm allow the HI-6421 to be placed anywhere in the lab to save on space without reducing functionality.
Supplied with Hanna Opdo optical probe
Hanna’s HI-7641133 Opdo optical dissolved oxygen probe is supplied with the HI-6421 DO meter, based on the principle of fluorescence quenching. An immobilised Pt-based luminophore is excited by a blue LED light and emits a red light, which interacts with oxygen. The intensity and lifetime of the luminescence is measured by a photodetector in the opdo probe, which is then used to calculate the concentration of dissolved oxygen.
Flexible electrode holder
A Hanna electrode arm is included as standard with the HI-6421 benchtop DO meter, providing a secure hold for the opdo probe when measuring samples of salt or freshwater. This electrode holder can be mounted to either side of the body of the meter for greater flexibility.
Accurate, reliable and repeatable measurement
The HI-6421 provides accurate, reliable and repeatable measurements in a wide range of fresh and saltwater samples. This laboratory-grade benchtop meter ensures precision in testing for the measurement of DO (%Sat, mg/L, ppm), BOD (mg/L, ppm), OUR (mg/L) and SOUR (ppm, mg/L).
Flexible configuration and design
Digital connectivity with the option for both WiFi and ethernet means the HI-6000 series benchtop meters can be placed anywhere, with no restrictions for physical proximity to a printer or desktop PC. A configurable, flexible electrode arm is mountable on either side of the instruments allows the HI-6421 to fit into the available space in the lab.
Simple-to-use interface
Operation immediately out of the box is effortless, with a user-friendly interface and quick access to settings to set up and customise the HI-6421 to your requirements. The comprehensive menu system on this DO meter includes:
- Network
- Connect and Print

Comprehensive data storage
Up to one million individual data points with time and date stamps can be stored within the HI-6000 series before transfer is required. Once exported via WiFi, ethernet, direct connection or USB stick this data is available in a universal .csv file format, with no additional software required for access.
Dual alarm system
Both audible and visual configurable alarms are available in the settings for the HI-6421 DO optical meter for labs, with the ability to configure the correct range for your samples. Measurements outside these ranges will trigger visual and/or audible alarms.
Remote transfer with ethernet and WiFi
The HI-6421 dissolved oxygen benchtop meter features WiFi and ethernet connectivity, allowing the transfer of data to any computer or email address via FTP or email log exports. These .csv files are accessible without the need to run the data through any software, providing excellent accessibility to remote labs, clients and other sites.
USB C and USB A support
Export data via USB stick with both USB A and C connection available on the HI-6421, allowing for the fast and easy transfer of data points as a universal .csv file. Peripherals such as keyboards can also be connected, as well as PCs, laptops and printers as required.
Video and text tutorial system
HI-6000 advanced meters include an on-screen, complete tutorial available as text and video through the HELP functionality. These instructions cover all of the main functionalities required to operate these lab-grade meters, allowing you to start measuring straight out of the box.
Customise and create users
Both administrator and standard users can be created on the HI-6421, providing full control over the configurations available to each user. Administrators are able to both create and manage other users from the Account Management Screen to limit or add permissions for day-to-day usage.
