Overview
Improve sample measurements with the Thermo Scientific Orion Dual Star pH/ISE dual channel benchtop meter. The Orion Dual Star meter shows the results of two channels simultaneously or displays large individual measurements on a large, backlit graphic display.
Multiparameter
Measure pH, ion concentration (ISE), mV, relative mV or ORP with temperature using the meter’s two BNC, reference pin-tip and ATC temperature inputs. The onscreen stability indicator is designed to alert fluctuations or instability of critical measurements.
Benefits
- Quickly toggle to show both channels simultaneously or each channel separately
- Easy to follow onscreen text prompts for calibration and setup menus available in a multi-language user interface with English, Spanish, French, German or Italian options
- Enjoy quick meter setup and data entry with a numeric keypad and menu-specific function keys
- Perform up to a 6 point pH calibration with automatic recognition for USA/NIST and EURO/DIN buffers with the option to manually input custom buffer values
- Perform up to a 6 point ion concentration (ISE) calibration with non-linear auto-blank and low-concentration stability options or use incremental methods for single/double known addition and single/double known subtraction
- Smart Stability and Smart Averaging functions are designed to automatically compensate for measurement conditions
- EZ Startup menu helps to facilitate quick and easy first-time meter setup

Ocean acidification: University of Washington's giant plastic bags help control research conditions
With oceans becoming more acidic worldwide, scientists are getting creative in designing experiments to study them. For example, one group at the University of Washington is using giant plastic bags to study ocean acidification. 
 Each bag holds about 3,000 liters of seawater and sits in a cylinder-like cage for stability. The group at UW, made up of professors and students, is controlling carbon dioxide levels in the bags over a nearly three-week period, during which they are looking at the effects of increased acidity on organisms living near the San Juan Islands. 
 “These mesocosms are a way to do a traditional experiment you might do in a lab or classroom,” said Jim Murray, professor of oceanography at the University of Washington.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists detected signs of ocean acidification in the waters that hold the vulnerable and valuable fisheries of the North Pacific off the coast of Alaska, but they only had a snapshot of the action. 
 
“We know that in this place were important commercial and subsistence fisheries that could be at risk from ocean acidification,” said Jeremy Mathis, a NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory researcher and professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. 
 
To understand how ocean acidification affects the North Pacific, NOAA scientists created a mooring network that collects constant in situ data on parameters contributing to acidification. They hope it will reveal seasonal trends and patterns left out by their snapshots.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. 
 
Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.
