A low-cost data logger for measuring concentrations of oxygen in lakes, streams and rivers
The HOBO U26 combines the high accuracy, robust performance of industry-leading RDO® Basic (Rugged Dissolved Oxygen) sensor technology with an easy-to-maintain design.
Affordable, high performance dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring with 0.2 mg/L accuracy
Optical DO sensor technology for long-lasting calibration with less maintenance
Dissolved Oxygen Assistant software corrects for measurement drift from fouling; provides salinity-adjusted DO concentrations and percent saturation
Optical USB interface for high-speed, reliable data offload
Easy-to-replace DO sensor cap lasts six months
NOTE: If you need to measure DO in saltwater environments, salinity or conductivity measurements are required. If you need DO in Percent Saturation, barometric pressure data is required, which can be logged with a HOBO Water Level Logger (U20-001-04).
