Magnetometers for Laboratory Electromagnetic Field Measurement
Our range of magnetometers and electromagnetic field meters enables researchers and technicians to measure magnetic field strength and radiofrequency exposure with confidence.
- Electromagnetic field detection: Magnetometers measure variations in magnetic flux density, allowing laboratories to analyse electromagnetic interference or evaluate magnetic environments around electronic systems.
- Technical feature and real-world use case: RF electromagnetic field meters are commonly used by electronics engineers and laboratory technicians to evaluate EMF exposure near communication equipment, wireless transmitters and industrial electrical systems.
- Portable measurement capability: Handheld magnetometers allow technicians to quickly perform diagnostic measurements across laboratories, production facilities and technical research environments.
How to Choose the Right Magnetometer
Selecting the appropriate magnetometer depends on several technical factors related to the measurement environment and required sensitivity.
- Measurement frequency range: Some instruments are designed for low-frequency magnetic field detection while others measure RF electromagnetic radiation across higher frequencies.
- Application environment: Determine whether the instrument will be used for laboratory research, electronics testing or workplace electromagnetic exposure monitoring.
- Measurement sensitivity: Consider the resolution and detection range required to capture small variations in electromagnetic field strength.
Expand Your Laboratory Measurement Setup
Magnetometers are often used alongside other electronic measurement instruments to support comprehensive testing and diagnostics.
- Test and Measurement Equipment: Combine electromagnetic field testing with other diagnostic tools for electronics development and laboratory research.
- Laboratory and Scientific Equipment: Integrate magnetometers with broader laboratory instrumentation to support advanced experimental analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a magnetometer used for?
A magnetometer measures magnetic field strength or electromagnetic radiation. It is commonly used in research laboratories, electronics testing, geophysical surveys and electromagnetic safety monitoring.
How does a magnetometer work?
Magnetometers detect changes in magnetic fields using sensors that convert magnetic flux into measurable electrical signals. The instrument then displays the magnetic field strength for analysis.
What is the difference between a magnetometer and an EMF meter?
A magnetometer measures magnetic fields, while an EMF meter typically measures broader electromagnetic radiation including radiofrequency energy from electronic equipment.
