YSI IDS ProOBOD Optical BOD Probe
Features
- User-replaceable, low-maintenance sensor cap with 1-year life
- Guarded sensor - the sensor guard provides protection of the sensor tip when taking the BOD probe in and out of BOD bottles
- Self-stirring to provide representative sample and increase response times
- Free ground shipping
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support

Overview
The YSI ProOBOD Optical BOD Probe is designed for use with all models of the YSI MultiLab, including the 4010-1W, 4010-2W, and 4010-3W. Optical, luminescent technology eliminates the probe warm-up period and membrane changes. The self-stirring BOD probe has a super quiet lab stirrer that helps ensure a representative sample and improves DO response times.
IDS Intelligent Digital Sensors
The IDS sensors automatically store their unique serial number and calibration data. In addition, they also digitally process the measurement signal. The sensors can be moved from instrument to instrument and maintain their calibration data and transmit this information to the new instrument.
Benefits
- 2-year warranty
- Reliable and serviceable
- Probe body tapered to fit into a standard 300 mL BOD bottle
- Extremely quiet operation
- No warm-up time required
- Self-stirring to provide a representative sample and increase response times

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.
