ANB Sensors has developed ground-breaking solid-state sensors for pH, conductivity & temperature. These innovative and revolutionary sensors, require no calibration, operate to depths of 50 meters in any orientation in fresh or saltwater environments.
Uniquely, they can be stored wet or dry, require simple maintenance, are extremely rugged and have exceptionally low on-going costs ideally suited for long term, cost effective remote monitoring in harsh and demanding environments. Thus, removing the fundamental issues seen with the conventional, fragile glass electrodes which require frequent manual calibration.
Calibration-Free: Unlike other pH sensors that need frequent re-calibration, ANB’s patented technology means that the sensor is automatically calibrated in-situ without the need for manual intervention.
Adaptable: These calibration-free pH sensors can be deployed autonomously or fit on any vehicle, sonde or monitoring platform.
Robust & Reliable: These solid-state sensors can be stored wet or dry without any degradation of performance, have no special handling requirements and operate in any orientation, delivering consistent & reliable performance in demanding environments.
Affordable: Being cost-effective and extremely low maintenance, these revolutionary sensors deliver up to 70% savings against operating costs of conventional sensors.
Intelligent: Constantly monitoring themselves these sensors provide real time feedback on sensor performance, continuously self-calibrating and automatically notifying an operator should user intervention be required.
Choice: 2 models are available for operating at different depths and applications, choose from sensors designed to operate up to 300m & 1250m depths.
Flexible: Automated operation for schedule and sample frequency plus manual command and sleep mode, data can be accessed via RS232 or RS485 communications, with analogue connectivity scheduled for future implementation.
Storage: Onboard 8GB memory allows storage of >15 million sensor readings of pH, conductivity, and temperature.
Biofouling: These sensors are designed to stop biofouling as standard, by electrochemically inhibiting the formation of biofilm on the transducer.

Sustainable Fishing in Alaska: Protecting the Salmon Capital of the World through Research
In the far north, the Alaska Peninsula stretches away from the Last Frontier into the Pacific Ocean. A narrow strip of land dotted with freshwater lakes and intruded upon by ocean inlets–this unique region is intimately connected with the surrounding water. 
 
Nestled halfway down the peninsula's southern coast are the small villages of Chignik. The area has historically been home to the Aleut people and has been heavily reliant on fishing for centuries. 
 
Home to commercial and subsistence fishing today, Chignik continues to rely upon the salmon returns to the surrounding villages, which are supported by scientists working tirelessly to understand and steward these fish populations.

Extreme environments meet extreme design with the NexSens X3 Data Logger . The new logger offers the latest in real-time monitoring technology with wireless communication, a large plug-and-play sensor library and ultra-low power consumption, all in a waterproof marine-grade housing. 
 
 The X3 is built to handle harsh weather, floods, high winds and rough seas, and it stands alone; no additional protective housing needed. With an operating temperature that ranges from -40°C to 70°C, the logger can withstand arctic environments and extreme heat. 
 
 
 
 A conformal coating on the internal circuit board isolates it from moisture and humidity.

When Kentucky’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) has to act quickly in response to chemical and oil spills in the Commonwealth, they rely on small, easily deployable buoys to collect critical data that help minimize and evaluate damages in environmental emergencies. 
 
With a background in geology, Robert Blair primarily worked with groundwater and got involved sporadically with the ERT during groundwater contamination emergencies. Over time, this involvement led to him joining the ERT as an On-Scene Coordinator and then becoming the branch manager for the team and overall Emergency Response Branch .
