Overview
The Thermo Orion Star A214 benchtop pH/ISE better is the ideal choice for any lab. The informative, backlit display shows pH, mV, RmV, ISE and temperature readings along with electrode status, time, date, sample ID, user ID and calibration points. For advanced users, features such as stability and averaging choices provide additional options. The meter is easy to set up and use while providing reliable measurement of pH and ionic concentrations for quality control and general analysis applications. Automatic pH calibration or 1 to 5 point manual calibration for pH and direct ion measurement ensures accuracy even at extremes of concentration.
Easy Integration
Thermo Orion Star A210 series benchtop meters provide a large storage capacity for time-stamped data points, which can be conveniently uploaded to a PC through the meter's USB and RS-232 ports. Complimentary data analysis software allows users to quickly view and manipulate data. Accuracy can be ensured through 5 point calibration and calibration editing features.

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.

NOAA Alaska buoy network to monitor North Pacific ocean acidification
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.

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect
Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.
