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
- More
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

Climate Change and Microplastics: Monitoring Lake Champlain
Most people go to Lake Champlain for its exceptional views and thrilling boating, but it’s also home to a wide variety of interesting aquatic research projects. From studying microplastics to thermal dynamics of the lake, Timothy Mihuc, director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute (LCRI) at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh), has spent his career studying aquatic ecosystems. As an aquatic biologist, he’s the main investigator on Lake Champlain’s research studies while also managing their grants, employees, and their hands-on buoy work. Over the years, LCRI has received a number of environmental grants that aid in its monitoring research.

Current Monitoring after the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
On March 26th, according to The Baltimore Sun , a 984-foot, 112,000-ton Dali lost propulsion and collided with a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Soon after the event, search and rescue, salvage crews, and other emergency responders were mobilized after the collision. As salvage efforts progressed in early April, NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) responded to a request for real-time tidal currents data and deployed a current monitoring buoy—CURBY (Currents Real-time BuoY)—into the Patapsco River north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Soundscapes of the Solar Eclipse: Citizen Science Supporting National Research
On April 8, 2024, millions of people around the world had their eyes glued to the sky to witness a historic cosmic event. The total solar eclipse captured the headlines and the minds of many who became eager to gaze at the heavens as the sky went dark for a few minutes. However, not everyone used their sense of sight during the eclipse, some were listening to the sounds of the natural world around them as the light faded from above. The Eclipse Soundscape Project is a NASA-funded citizen science project that focuses on studying how the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse impacted life on Earth. The project revisits an initiative from the 1930s that showed animals and insects are affected by solar eclipses.
