Questions & Answers
What wavelengths does my 9500 Photometer operate at?
The 9500 Deluxe Photometer operates at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600, and 650 nm.
Is the YSI 9500 a laboratory photometer?
The YSI 9500 deluxe photometer can be used in the lab or in the field. It is waterproof with a IP67 rating and is designed to float if accidentally dropped in the water.
What is a blank tube? Why do I need to use it?
A blank tube is filled with the sample, but without reagents. This tube allows the instrument to compensate for any inherent color in the sample prior to the actual parameter test.
Can my photometer be updated?
Yes. The 9500 Photometer can be upgraded with new test calibrations using a PC. The photometer can be updated with a disk or via the YSI website (www.YSI.com). No special computer software is required.
How do you calibrate the YSI 9500 Photometer?
The 9500 Photometer is pre-programmed with calibrations for each test parameter, so there is no user-calibration necessary.

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Manages Monitoring Efforts in Morro Bay

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.

Green Water in Green Bay: Using Data Buoys to Monitor the Southern Bay

While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load.  The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality.  This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.

Cross-Border Sewage Contaminated Flows: Monitoring the Tijuana River

The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.
