Overview

The agriculture industry involves the buying and selling of goods in large quantities, typically to retailers, other businesses, or institutional clients rather than directly to consumers. It serves as an intermediary between manufacturers or producers and the end-users of products. Wholesalers purchase goods in bulk from manufacturers and sell smaller quantities to retailers or other businesses at a marked-up price, acting as a link in the supply chain. This industry encompasses a wide range of products, from electronics and clothing to food and industrial supplies. It plays a pivotal role in distribution, ensuring products reach the market efficiently.

Depending on specific features and functions, GAO Tek’s water quality testers are sometimes referred to as aquatic assessment devices, hydro chemical analyzers, liquid purity analyzers, water analysis instruments, H2O quality sensors, aquatic contaminant detectors, fluid integrity testers, hydrosphere monitoring devices, aqua purity meters, and water composition analyzers.

Furthermore, GAO Tek’s water quality testers are further grouped into:

Benchtop Water Quality Testers, Data Logging Water Quality Testers, Handheld Water Quality Testers, High Precision Water Quality Testers, Rugged Water Quality Testers, Water Quality Testers with Multi Parameters, and Wide Range Water Quality Testers.
