AQUAREAD has launched a new portable Optical Dissolved Oxygen system called the AQUAPLUS. The system’s sleek black meter uses the company’s intuitive user interface, whose unique design simplifies the system’s usage in the field.
Portable Optical Dissolved Oxygen System, AQUAPLUS
The sturdy meter features an air pressure sensor for automatic compensation as well as the GPS receiver, a common component in all types of AQUAREAD’s portable field equipment. Rare calibration, no filling solution and a cap life of two years are some of the advantages of optical the technology over electrodes based on membranes.
The slender AquaPlus probe has a diameter of 2.4 cm and the strong aluminium sleeve safeguards the single electrode of the probe. The single electrode comprises the company’s nano-engineered Optical DO sensor technology as well as the temperature and conductivity sensors. The conductivity sensor offers complete automated compensation for salinity, a factor measured from the conductivity. This characteristic results in more precise % saturation readings that are completely compensated and eliminate extra user input.
The AQUAPLUS can be used to calculate longitude, latitude, date, time, height above MSL, air pressure, temperature, seawater specific gravity, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids, conductivity, optical DO mg/L and optical DO % saturation. It can be used for numerous applications from brewing to fish farming to ground, waste and surface water monitoring.
