EAST 30 SENSORS
Making your research affordable
East 30 Sensors manufactures and sells innovative sensors for biophysical research, in conjunction with Campbell Scientific dataloggers.
East 30 Sensors started in 1995 when Bryan and Karine Wacker bought the rights to Soiltronics' (previously owned by Kees Calissendorff) sensors: the Thermal Conductivity Sensor, Specific Heat Sensor, and Sap Flow Sensor. East 30 Sensors allows Karine to continue to use her skills as an engineer and stay at home with her children (Kahlin, at 2, could often be found with his tools "making needles").
In 2020, we are proud to announce that East 30 was reformed as an LLC.
