Selecting Among Dissolved Oxygen Measurement Methods (Optical, Galvanic, Polarographic)

By |Water Measurement Tips & Tricks|

Commercially available dissolved oxygen sensors typically fall into 3 categories: galvanic dissolved oxygen sensors, polarographic dissolved oxygen sensors, and optical dissolved oxygen sensors. Each type of dissolved oxygen sensor has a slightly different working principle. Therefore, each dissolved oxygen sensor type has advantages and disadvantages depending on the water measurement application where it will be used.

Water Quality Monitoring: A Critical Success Factor for Zebrafish Research Labs

By |Aquaculture|

Have you ever heard of zebrafish? If you’re not part of the scientific research community, maybe not. Believe it or not, zebrafish and humans share similar genetic and biological structures, making them a model organism. It’s important for researchers to ensure that zebrafish are being kept in nearly identical conditions across multiple habitats. Oxygen levels, contaminants, pH levels, and salinity can all impact fish health.

3 Types of Cooling Systems and How They Work

By |Industrial Water Treatment|

In industrial applications, cooling can be critical to ensure that processes do not cause equipment or products to overheat. Many cooling applications use water as a medium to absorb heat, because water has a high boiling point and high specific heat. There are many different ways to set up an industrial cooling system, but the three basic types can be summarized by examining how cooling water is used in each system.
