The EcoSense line of compact, handheld instruments provides the most accurate data in the most affordable format. The instruments feature an easy-to-use interface, one-hand operation, IP67 waterproof case, and low cost of ownership over the life of the product. The ODO200 simultaneously measures dissolved oxygen, using optical technology, and temperature with the following features:
- Automatic temperature compensation
- 1-year instrument, cable and sensor cap warranty
- 1-, 4- and 10-meter durable field cables available
- Manual input for salinity and pressure compensation
- Low battery indicator with 100 hour battery life
- Replaceable optical sensor cap (12-18 month life)
- Auto shutoff function after 30 minutes of inactivity
- 50 data set reviewable memory
The ODO200 is designed for quick, accurate results in an economical platform. The ability to measure DO optically along with temperature, in a simple, compact handheld allows the instrument to be used across multiple application sampling strategies in the field. With a one-year instrument, probe and sensor cap warranty, waterproof case and ease-of-use, the EcoSense ODO200 will fit your needs.

Private effort aims to wire Lake George into world's 'smartest lake'
As part of IBM’s Smarter Planet initiative, the company has poured millions into projects around the world to test out some of its new technologies and has gotten some good clippings in the press along the way. One well-known offshoot of this effort is Watson, the computer that famously beat human opponents at Jeopardy. But the initiative goes much farther than Watson, and some of the same engineers who worked on the supercomputer project have already turned their eyes to another one: the Jefferson Project, a joint effort between IBM, The FUND for Lake George and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is pushing the limits on lake monitoring.
In Sierra Nevada streams, researchers on the lookout for drought-threatened fish
In the parched hills of the Sierra Nevada, researchers are surveying drought-weakened streams to see what effects long-term dryness is having on fish populations in the region. Their findings so far have been less than stellar, with sparse numbers of fish being counted. Still, as data collection is progressing, the researchers, who work out of the University of California, Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, are gathering insights that could aid in conservation efforts that are expected to grapple with coming climate changes. The purposes of the investigation are two-fold. “If we ever get rain again, we want to see how well these areas are recovering from drought,” said Rebecca Quinones, a postdoctoral researcher at the center and leader of the project.
YSI improves EcoSense handhelds
YSI recently released updated versions of the economical EcoSense handheld environmental testing devices that edge the EcoSense line closer to high-end handhelds. The update resulted from an aging product and feedback from the people who used the original versions every day, said YSI Product Manager Laura St. Pierre. “We were just trying the make it a better field tool,” she said. The new EcoSense pH100A, D0200A and EC300A replace products with the same names sans the “A.” While there wasn’t a drastic name change, the two model versions look completely different. Updated EcoSense models have an ergonomic design that better fits the palm. The curvaceous, gray case looks much cleaner than the previous version’s angular blue features.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
