The waterproof, battery-operated Thermo Orion Star A223 portable RDO/DO meter stands up to the most demanding field applications and delivers over 800 hours of continuous operation. The informative, backlit display shows DO concentration, DO percent saturation and temperature readings along with time, date, sample ID, user ID and calibration information. The meter accepts both Orion polarographic probes and RDO optical probes for increased accuracy and versatility. For advanced users, features such as stability and averaging choices provide additional options.
Thermo Orion Star A220 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 a variety of pressure compensation options and calibration methods.

All three meters (A213, A323. and A223) have the same dissolved oxygen range using either an RDO optical dissolved oxygen probe or a polarographic dissolved oxygen probe.
The Star A223 will display dissolved oxygen in percent air saturation or concentration.
The Thermo Orion Star kit (STARA2235) comes with an optical DO probe.

Choosing The Right Thermo Portable For Your Project
With so many options in Thermo Scientific’s Orion Star A line, it can be difficult to narrow down which meter will best fulfill a project’s needs. One easy way to rule out some meters is by considering application type. For projects that rely largely on collecting samples in the field, a portable meter is clearly the way to go. But there’s still a handful of meters to choose from. To simplify making the right choice, we spoke with Ricki Hartwell, the global product manager for Thermo Scientific’s Orion Laboratory and Field Instruments. She recently shared her tips on choosing the right Thermo benchtop . Let’s take a look at her recommendations for selecting the right portable meter.

Tides and microbes transform nitrogen where streams and the ocean meet
Enormous amounts of excess nitrogen hit water bodies all over the globe, including the U.S., due to runoff from agricultural and other human activities. This nitrogen can cause dead zones and harmful algal growth. Before it reaches the ocean, microbes can process and remove some of it from stream sediments, connected aquifers and tidal freshwater zones. Thanks to this process, coasts can have a decreased likelihood of harmful algal blooms. Keeping coastal waters clean is important for many reasons, including the fact that about 60% of the U.S. population lives on coasts. But despite the importance of these nitrogen processes, researchers have not fully investigated how they work.

Climate, nutrients and the future of hypoxia in a Chesapeake Bay tributary
The Chesapeake Bay is the site of recurring seasonal dead zones: areas of low dissolved oxygen where aquatic life struggles to survive if it can at all. In 2020, a dead zone in the Maryland portion of the bay was one of the smallest since 1985, when record keeping began. The hypoxic area in the Virginia portion of the bay was smaller and briefer than many years previous. But the problem isn’t gone yet, and looking forward, climate change will play a big role in determining the size and severity of dead zones throughout the bay. It could make it harder to get hypoxia under control in some places.
