YSI 6150 ROX Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
Description
The YSI 6150 Reliable Oxygen Sensor (ROX) is a luminescent-based DO sensor that provides accurate long-term measurements in severe fouling and low oxygen environments.
Features
- Utilizes luminescence lifetime detection of oxygen to provide the most stable measurements possible
- Microprocessor-controlled measurement system reduces drift and improves accuracy
- Easy to replace, durable membrane with a usable life of one year
Details
The ROX optical sensor uses an integrated wiping system to provide anti-fouling in the most hostile environments. Durable mechanical features include a non-corroding titanium wiper shaft, replaceable wiper shaft seal, and a new switch controlled wiper parking system to prevent mis-parking.
The ROX sensing system is based on the luminescence lifetime method. This method was chosen because it offers the most stable, repeatable and sensitive method for oxygen detection, thus reducing sensor drift and prolonging deployment times.
YSI's optical DO membrane differs from the traditional electrochemical sensor membrane, requiring fewer steps for installation and less maintenance. ROX membranes will last for one year and are made of a durable material that is unlikely to be damaged in the field. The ROX sensor eliminates stirring dependency that was required of most traditional polarographic sensors.

When should I replace my membrane?
When you notice the black film flaking or start getting unstable readings, the membrane should be replaced. YSI recommends replacing the membrane yearly, but this recommendation also depends on usage. Replacement membranes can be purchased from Fondriest Environmental. (Part number: 606155)

What advantages does the ROX sensor have over my rapid pulse sensor?
The ROX sensor has zero flow dependence, a maintenance-free and puncture-proof membrane, and a zero cal option. It also is insensitive to H2S, has no electrolyte and can self-clean for longer deployments.
|
|
Is there a warm up time for my sensor?
The Optical Sensor does not have an electrode to polarize therefore it does not have a warm-up time. The sensor can be turned on, calibrated, and used immediately after.

VIMS study shows fish flee Chesapeake Bay hypoxia
A Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences study found that near-bottom fish in the Chesapeake Bay tend to move out of areas nearing hypoxia, according to a VIMS release. The study, which has spanned 10 years, found that biomass decreased in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay during mid-summer. That part of the bay typically experiences hypoxia due to algal blooms fed from nutrient runoff. A total of 48 sampling trips from 2002 through 2011 have shown that, when dissolved oxygen concentrations dip below 4 milligrams per liter, many near bottom fish leave the area. Analysis was limited to demersal, near bottom, fish and the same trends were not confirmed for fish higher in the water column.

Mississippi Gulf Coast fish kill expected to continue
Officials at the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources say that a recent fish kill along the state’s Gulf coast is the largest they’ve seen, according to KVUE . The fish kill has brought dead crabs, eels and stingrays ashore. Beachgoers were disturbed by the large-scale kill, but experts explained that conditions this year were to blame. With higher temperatures and low dissolved oxygen near the sea floor, creatures that live there were more likely to be affected. The fish kill, beginning July 1, was the first of 2013 for the area. It was expected to last several more days, but lessen over that period.

Toxic Chemicals in Plastic Pollution Littering Freshwater Habitats
When we consider the glut of plastic rapidly accumulating all over the world , it's easy to see the problem of pollution and disposal of substances that don't biodegrade. However, it's not always as apparent to us that plastic pollution also means a growing number of toxic chemicals in the environment, many of which can be harmful to ecosystems. Plastic polymers and the products made from them are wildly diverse as to chemical properties, composition, and range of potential applications, although most plastics are made from petrochemicals. Throughout the very long lifespan of any given plastic product, the material may release various hazardous substances .
