Dissolved oxygen sensor - Gravity, analogic output

Measure the Dissolved Oxygen concentration in water

This kit can measure dissolved oxygen which is compatible with Arduino microcontrollers. This sensor measure the dissolved oxygen present in the water. This measurement reflect the water quality and is widely used in many water quality applications (aquaculture, environment monitoring, natural science, etc).

Good water quality is very important to the aquatic organisms, Good fish needs good water and Dissolved oxygen is one of the key parameters to reflecting the water quality. Low dissolved oxygen in water will lead to difficulty in breathing for aquatic organisms, leading them to death.
This open-source sensor kit is compatible with Arduino but can also be used with 3.3V systems. The mesure is returned as an analogic voltage between 0 and 3.0 Volts.
This sensor kit helps you quickly to build your own dissolved oxygen detector.

The probe is a galvanic probe, no need of polarization time, and stay available at any time (but it must be maintained in good condition). The filling solution and membrane cap are replaceable meaning that the sensor is easy to maintain at an affordable cost. The signal converter board is plug and play. It can be easily integrated to any control or detecting system supporting 3.3V capable analog input.

With open-source code and detailed tutorial (see tutorial section), this product would offers a great result for detecting oxygen concentration in water for the aquatic organisms.

This product requires the 0.5 mol/L NaOH solution (not included) to work. It will not work without filling solution!

Dissolved Oxygen Probe：
1. Galvanic probe, no need polarization time
2. Filling solution and membrane cap is replaceable, low maintenance cost

Signal Converter Board：

1. 1. Power supply: 3.3~5.5V compatible with most microcontroller.
2. Analog Output: 0~3.0V compatible with all microcontrollers having ADC function.
3. Gravity interface, plug and play, easy to use

Do not ship by air

Due to the International Import and Export Policy, the corrosive solution (acid & alkaline solution) is not allowed to deliver by air transportation. The filling solution is not included in the kit. You have to purchase it from local shop or deploy the solution by yourself, refer to tutorial FAQ-Q4.
It can’t work without filling solution! Please be caution with the purchase!
