HOBO MX2500 Replacement Electrode
Features
- Uses potentiometric and temperature measurements of samples to determine the pH
- Can easily be replaced via the simple plug-and-play 3.5-mm connector
- pH electrodes should always be stored in storage solution when not deployed
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support
- More
Overview
The MX2500 replacement pH electrode replaces the original pH electrode that ships with the HOBO MX2501 logger. The electrodes should be replaced after six months of use.
Applications
With its gel electrolyte and double Pellon junction minimizing the chance of contamination of the reference electrolyte, this plastic-bodied electrode and the HOBO MX2501 pH and Temperature Data Logger are perfectly suited for environmental monitoring of streams, lakes, rivers, estuaries, and oceans.
Mechanics
The electrode uses potentiometric and temperature measurements of samples to determine the pH, and can easily be replaced because of the simple plug-and-play 3.5-mm connector. Following proper calibration, storage, and maintenance protocols for the electrode, the MX2501 can achieve pH accuracies of ±0.10 pH units within ±10°C of temperature at calibration.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake
A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries
Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute
Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.
