Dissolved Oxgen Probe
A dissolved oxygen probe is a device used to measure the DO concentration in water. Probes come in a variety of types, but they all work by measuring the amount of oxygen that diffuses across a membrane into the sensor.
About Dissolved Oxgen Probe
A dissolved oxygen probe is a water quality sensor used to measure the concentration of oxygen dissolved in water. DO is one of the most important indicators of water quality, and is essential for the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms.
DO probes work by measuring the amount of oxygen that diffuses across a membrane into the sensor. There are two main types of DO probes: polarographic and optical. Polarographic probes use an electrochemical reaction to measure the amount of oxygen present, while optical probes use a fluorescent dye to measure the oxygen concentration.

DO Probe Applications
Dissolved oxygen probes are used in a wide range of applications, including:
Environmental monitoring: DO probes are used to monitor water quality in rivers, lakes, and oceans. They can also be used to monitor air quality in industrial settings.
Aquaculture: DO probes are used to monitor the water quality in fish farms and other aquaculture facilities.
Wastewater treatment: DO probes are used to monitor and control the wastewater treatment process.
Research and development: DO probes are used in a variety of research and development applications, such as studying the effects of pollution on aquatic ecosystems and developing new water treatment technologies.
Dissolved Oxgen Probe Parameters
Features of a DO probe:
Range: The range of a dissolved oxygen probe is the concentration of oxygen that it can measure.
Accuracy: The accuracy of a water quality probe is the degree to which its measurements match the true value of dissolved oxygen concentration.
Response time: The response time of a dissolved oxygen probe is the time it takes for the probe to reach a stable reading.
Calibration: Water quality probes need to be calibrated regularly to ensure that they are providing accurate measurements.
