Frequently asked questions

What types of environmental monitoring equipment does Hoskin Scientific supply?

Hoskin Scientific stocks weather stations, water-quality meters, soil-moisture and soil-water sensors, hydrological loggers, air-quality monitors, sampling pumps, fisheries and limnology equipment, and environmental data loggers from manufacturers including Onset HOBO, YSI, METER, In-Situ, and Campbell Scientific. We supply, install, calibrate, and service the full range from our four Canadian centres.

Do you offer rentals on water-quality meters and weather stations?

Yes. Our rental fleet includes water-quality sondes (ProDSS, ProQ20, EXO series), portable weather stations, automated rain gauges, infrared thermometers, and most common environmental monitoring instruments. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates available — contact your nearest Hoskin Scientific office for availability.

Are your environmental sensors compliant with Canadian regulatory standards (MECP, ECCC, AAFC)?

The instruments we supply meet the measurement and calibration requirements referenced by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). We provide NIST-traceable calibration certificates and can scope deployments against specific permit or monitoring program requirements.

What are typical lead times for environmental data loggers and sensors?

Frequently-stocked items (HOBO loggers, YSI handheld meters, common sensors) ship in 1-3 business days from a Canadian warehouse. Specialty environmental systems and custom telemetry packages are typically 2-8 weeks. Calibration and pre-deployment configuration adds 5-7 business days. We confirm lead time on every quote.

Do you provide on-site setup, deployment, and calibration for environmental monitoring stations?

Yes. Our factory-trained technicians provide on-site installation, calibration, deployment, and operator training for environmental monitoring stations across Canada. We commission complete stations including telemetry, data publishing, and ongoing calibration scheduling.
