The pHionics STs Series Dissolved Oxygen sensor accurately measures dissolved oxygen (0 to 20 mg/L or percent saturation) and temperature (0 to 50 C) over long periods of time with little maintenance required. It outputs two noise-resistant 4 to 20 mA signals compatible with most dataloggers or remote telemetry units. A narrow diameter allows the STs Series to go where other sensors cannot while a durable, chemical-resistant housing ensures many years in-use. The electrode tip (anode) has a large surface area that improves oxygen exchange consistency across the membrane while reducing the frequency of fouling.
In contrast to other dissolved oxygen sensors that require membrane and reference solution replacement every 3 to 6 months, the STs Series Dissolved Oxygen typically only requires electrode replacement every 2 to 3 years. This is possible because the electrode is permanently sealed to maintain a stable and sterile internal environment. In addition, the rugged Teflon membrane resists scratches and tears that would put other sensors out of commission. All these features free up the user to focus on actionable insights from the data instead of spending time performing maintenance.
