Overview
The Hach sensION+ 9662 nitrate ion selective electrode is a half-cell (reference not integrated) nitrate ion selective electrode (ISE) with an epoxy body and non-replaceable, solid-state PVC (polymer) membrane selective to nitrate ions in solution. Ultimately, the 9662 provides fast, stable and accurate response in a variety of sample types.
Application
It is recommended for use with the sensION+ 5044 reference electrode. The Hach sensION+ 9662 has a fixed 1-meter cable and BNC connector for laboratory use with the Hach sensION+ MM374 Multimeter. The Hach sensION+ 9662 Nitrate Ion Selective Electrode is ideal for measuring nitrate concentrations in drinking water, wastewater and general water quality applications.
Mechanics
The Hach sensION+ 9662 nitrate ion selective electrode utilizes a unique solid-state sensor technology that eliminates costly membrane replacements, whereas traditional PVC-membrane ISEs require membrane replacement every 2-3 months. The 9663 ISE’s unique solid-state sensor technology eliminates the need for frequent membrane replacement. This design allows users to get up to 2 years of life from their ISE without membrane replacement. The solid-state sensor design requires little maintenance and allows for dry storage of the ISE without a shelf life or membrane replacement.

Kansas State classes get a lesson in environmental remediation
Kansas State University professors transformed a plot of land from a problem to a classroom, teaching students on the fly to remediate nutrient pollution. 
 Saugata Datta, an associate professor of geology, and Nathan Nelson, an associate professor of agronomy, taught students to evaluate, sample and remediate land using Kansas Department of Health and Environment protocols. 
 It started when Chris Steincamp, an environmental lawyer and KSU alumnus, asked Datta if his geology students could restore a tract of land in Sylvan Grove Kan. 
 Datta jumped at the opportunity to give his students hands-on experience in a process usually reserved for regulators and consultants. 
 It helped that O.C.

Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.
