The dissolved oxygen sensor is an interchangeable sensor that works with HOBO MX800 Series Water Loggers to measure dissolved oxygen and temperature. The DO sensor can be attached directly to the fully submersible MX801 model, or attached via cable to the direct read MX802 model, which doesn’t require having to pull the sensor out of the water to download data.
When this sensor is connected to a HOBO MX800 logger that also has a conductivity or CTD sensor attached, the logger can record salinity-adjusted DO directly. With this sensor attached to the HOBO MX802 direct read model, the logger can calculate DO percent saturation directly. When used with fully submersible HOBO MX801 model, a barometric logger data file (from either an MX802 or MX2001 logger) is needed to calculate DO percent saturation, for post-processing in the HOBOconnect app. In waters with changing salinity, the logger must also have a salinity sensor attached or you will need an MX800 salinity data file to get DO percent saturation.
- User-replaceable DO cap lasts 2 years or more
- High accuracy measurements, even without calibration
- Get salinity-adjusted DO directly when used with conductivity sensor (W-CT or W-CTD), no need for post-processing
- Direct DO percent saturation data, no need for post-processing (when used with MX802)
- Easy calibration with included calibration boot – saves time
- 1” diameter for use in narrow wells (with cable to MX802 above the well)

Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes
While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.

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.
