PME miniDOT Dissolved Oxygen Logger

Overview
The PME miniDOT is a submersible instrument that includes an optical dissolved oxygen sensor, a temperature sensor, batteries and a micro SD memory card. Data is recorded internally with a sample interval from once per minute to once per hour and can be offloaded to a computer via USB cable.

Internal Storage
The miniDOT sensor is an optode that measures lifetime-based luminescence quenching of a thin membrane. The sensing foil contains a coating with a variable fluorescence that depends on oxygen concentration in the surrounding water. The sensor can compute dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L and record these measurements internally. Each logger is factory-calibrated at 12 dissolved oxygen concentrations, each at 8 temperatures, for a total of 96 calibration points.

Included with miniDOT logger (Part #7450):

  • miniDOT dissolved oxygen logger

Included with miniDOT logger with wiper bundle (Part #9190):

  • miniDOT dissolved oxygen logger
  • miniWIPER anti-fouling sensor wiper
  • miniWIPER bracket
  • anti-fouling copper plate (with hardware)
Questions & Answers
How does the miniDOT measure dissolved oxygen?
The PME miniDOT determines DO in water using an optode that measures flourescence.
What software comes with the dissolved oxygen logger?
The PME miniDOT includes free Java-based Windows software for configuration the logger and offloading data. The software will also compute oxygen saturation from the miniDOT logger measurements. A USB to micro USB cable is sold separately and required to communicate with the logger.
How long will the battery last?
With a 1-minute sample interval, the logger will remain powered for approximately 1-year.
What are the recommended replacement batteries for the miniDOT logger?
PME states that Alkaline batteries are good for short deployments, where lithium batteries are best for longer deployments, or deployments in cold environments. Battery life and other options are discussed further on page 10 of manual.
Is the software the same for the PME miniDOT and Cyclops-7 Loggers?
While the software is similar for these loggers, in that you can change sampling rates and other settings, they are different programs. The software is loaded onto the logger and can be accessed by connecting to a computer with the USB communication cable.
What is the expected lifespan for the PME miniDOT Logger?
With proper care, maintenance and calibrations PME Loggers can operate well beyond 5 years.

Thin Ice: Year-Long Monitoring in Missouri Reservoirs

The value of multi-lake studies is well understood by international organizations like the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) and the scientists who work tirelessly to provide data to the larger network. Rebecca North, an associate professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia , is one of many researchers involved in multi-lake research initiatives and conducting research locally in her home state. Having been born and raised on the shore of Lake Ontario, North grew up in a community that revolved around water. She also saw firsthand one of the worst water quality bodies of the world, the Bay of Quinte, decline throughout her lifetime.

PME miniDOT Logger: Plunge into Data

The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

Save our Bogs! Culture, Conservation and Climate Action in Ireland’s Peatlands

Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.
