PME miniDOT Dissolved Oxygen Logger

Overview
The PME miniDOT is a submersible instrument that includes an optical dissolved oxygen sensor, a temperature sensor, batteries and a micro SD memory card. Data is recorded internally with a sample interval from once per minute to once per hour and can be offloaded to a computer via USB cable.

Internal Storage
The miniDOT sensor is an optode that measures lifetime-based luminescence quenching of a thin membrane. The sensing foil contains a coating with a variable fluorescence that depends on oxygen concentration in the surrounding water. The sensor can compute dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L and record these measurements internally. Each logger is factory-calibrated at 12 dissolved oxygen concentrations, each at 8 temperatures, for a total of 96 calibration points.

Included with miniDOT logger (Part #7450):

  • miniDOT dissolved oxygen logger

Included with miniDOT logger with wiper bundle (Part #9190):

  • miniDOT dissolved oxygen logger
  • miniWIPER anti-fouling sensor wiper
  • miniWIPER bracket
  • anti-fouling copper plate (with hardware)
Questions & Answers
How does the miniDOT measure dissolved oxygen?
The PME miniDOT determines DO in water using an optode that measures flourescence.
What software comes with the dissolved oxygen logger?
The PME miniDOT includes free Java-based Windows software for configuration the logger and offloading data. The software will also compute oxygen saturation from the miniDOT logger measurements. A USB to micro USB cable is sold separately and required to communicate with the logger.
How long will the battery last?
With a 1-minute sample interval, the logger will remain powered for approximately 1-year.
What are the recommended replacement batteries for the miniDOT logger?
PME states that Alkaline batteries are good for short deployments, where lithium batteries are best for longer deployments, or deployments in cold environments. Battery life and other options are discussed further on page 10 of manual.
Is the software the same for the PME miniDOT and Cyclops-7 Loggers?
While the software is similar for these loggers, in that you can change sampling rates and other settings, they are different programs. The software is loaded onto the logger and can be accessed by connecting to a computer with the USB communication cable.
What is the expected lifespan for the PME miniDOT Logger?
With proper care, maintenance and calibrations PME Loggers can operate well beyond 5 years.

Collecting Data at the Top of the World: How Scientists Retrieve Glacial Ice Cores

A helicopter touches down in the small town of Sicuani, Peru, at an elevation of 11,644 feet. Earlier that day, a boxcar brought fuel, drills, food, and other equipment for a glacial expedition. The year is 1979, and glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is preparing to lead a team to the Quelccaya ice cap in hopes of becoming the first scientists to drill an ice core sample from this glacier. The only problem? The glacier is located at 19,000 feet in one of the most remote areas of the world. The helicopter takes off from the town, but the thin atmosphere at that elevation does not allow it to safely touch down on the ice– due to the aircraft’s weight, and it becomes unstable when the air is less dense.

Spring 2024 Environmental Monitor Available Now

In the Spring 2024 edition of the Environmental Monitor, we showcase researchers from across the world and the importance of monitoring natural disasters and the various symptoms of climate emergencies. Tracking the impacts of wildfires in Canada to air pollution in New York , this latest edition showcases how the influence of climate change and natural disasters transfers across state and country lines. Researchers spent the year gathering data, predicting disasters, and monitoring as a means of managing and understanding natural disasters. Our writers sought out environmental professionals dedicated to protecting human health , minimizing the impacts of natural disasters and creating monitoring systems.

Combining Academia and Lake Associations: Monitoring Lake Lillinonah

Lake Lillinonah may be Connecticut's second-largest lake, but it holds a great deal of meaning for locals and researchers in the surrounding towns. The lake is so significant to the surrounding community that it is one of many lakes in the United States with a dedicated lake association advocating for the resource. Jen Klug, Professor of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University , started her career at Fairfield as a natural progression in her background as a classical aquatic ecologist and found herself working closely with Lake Lillinonah's Friends of the Lake (FOTL) when they reached out to collaborate on an algae presentation for a public forum back in 2006.
