What our customers say

”“We conduct subsoil investigation so it is very important to have in situ information of polluted soils to help us decide the best place to take a sample. Our technical teams work on outdoor sites during all weather conditions so the Tiger’s humidity resistant sensor was the most important feature for our business. Of course, the anti-contamination design was also vital to avoid cross pollution and ensure data integrity.”
Albert Sabanes i Fiter, Director de projectes at GeoambientGeoambient chooses Tiger for humidity resistant sensor
