Description
Dissolved oxygen levels are used as a general indicator of water quality. Oxygen is essential to life and vital for countless aquatic forms.
Technical specifications:
- Measurement range: 0 .. 20 mg/L
- Accuracy: Typically 2% after calibration
- Response time (time for 95% change in measurement): 95% after 30 seconds, 98% after 45 seconds
- Automatic temperature compensation: Between 5 – 45 °C
- Maximum sample frequency: 100 kHz (CoachLab II+, WiLab) / 1 MHz (VinciLab 2)
- Includes sensor cable
- Warranty: 3 years
All technical specifications of the dissolved oxygen sensor are described in the product manual, see downloads.
The sensor can be used to perform a variety of biology and chemistry experiments:
- Monitoring dissolved oxygen in an aquarium containing different combinations of plant and animal species
- Measuring changes in dissolved oxygen concentration resulting from photosynthesis and respiration in aquatic plants
- Measuring dissolved oxygen concentration in a stream or lake survey, in order to evaluate the capability of the water to support different types of plant and animal life
- Measure Biological Oxygen Demand (B.O.D.) in water samples containing organic matter that consumes oxygen as it decays
- Determine the relationship between the dissolved oxygen concentration and the temperature of a water sample.
The Dissolved Oxygen sensor can be directly connected to the analog BT inputs of the CMA interfaces.The sensor cable needed to connect the sensor to an interface is attached to the sensor.
