Handi-TRASE™: The Next Evolution In Precision Soil Moisture Measurement

This would be a important news for the people working in agriculture or environment research. This instrument is the Handi-TRASE™, a revolutionary portable TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) moisture meter engineered to deliver laboratory-grade accuracy in the field. Combining cutting-edge technology with rugged portability, the Handi-TRASE™ sets a new standard for soil moisture analysis across agriculture, research, and environmental management. 

Quantum Leap in TDR Technology

The Handi-TRASE™ leverages true Time Domain Reflectometry to measure volumetric water content (VWC) with ±2% accuracy across a full 0–100% scale—even in high-salinity or high-electrical conductivity (EC) soils where conventional sensors fail. Its compact design, a dramatic reduction from legacy TRASE systems, integrates powerful new features while slashing costs by nearly 50%.  

“This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a quantum leap forward,” said a longtime customer during beta testing. “The Handi-TRASE™ redefines what’s possible for field-ready precision.”
