Overview
The fully-featured YSI 9300 and 9500 portable photometers accurately analyze all the major inorganic constituents of water. They are rugged, fully waterproof, easy-to-use and provide quick, accurate test results.
Accurate
The photometric technology uses light to measure color changes in water samples treated with a reagent. They are accurate to +/-0.005 at 0.3 absorbency units (au) and resolution is 0.001au. The sample is simply placed in the unique adaptive cell holder and a button pressed. The cell holder automatically adjusts to various round tube sizes.
Flexible
The 9300 and 9500 feature automatic light wavelength selection for each of their pre-programmed test methods. They have easy-to-navigate menus and over 100 test choices, providing full flexibility. The software also remembers the most recent tests, making it even quicker to use next time.
Durable
Both units are sealed to IP67 specifications and run on standard AA batteries. The 9500 can be powered through the USB port from the computer, or via a standalone adapter. Each comes complete with a carry case and room to store the required reagents. Additionally, the 9500 can store up to 500 test results in its onboard memory, with a full audit trail of time, date, and results in chosen units. Once back at base, the test results are simply transferred to a PC by plugging it into the USB port and using the drag and drop file transfer utility.

Scientists studying krill track light levels during Arctic polar night
The Arctic is a fairly well-studied area, but the waters beneath it are something akin to the deep sea in that scientists have yet to tap the true potential they hold. One example of this is the little-known dependency that Arctic krill and phytoplankton have on light at the northern tip of the planet. From other investigations and past studies, scientists know that light is a trigger for the small marine organisms to move up and down in water columns everywhere, cueing them that it’s safe to search for food or signaling that they should hide from predators. But the Arctic is a special place, and its light patterns don’t conform with those found in other regions of our big blue marble.

Silver Springs, where flows are down and nutrients are up, provide outdoor classroom
A hundred years before Disney World, tourists flocked to Florida to see the crystal clear water flowing from the Silver Springs, one of the largest artesian spring systems in the world. Thousands of years before that, the springs' supply of freshwater and food supported early indigenous settlements. Today, the springs and the Silver River that they feed into are suffering from nutrient pollution and reduced flows brought on by Florida's population growth and agricultural production. Those problems have coated the river's bed with algae and cost the system its place as the highest-volume springs in the world.

NSF awards grant to Lacawac Sanctuary
The National Science Foundation has awarded the Lacawac Sanctuary a grant for the construction of a new lab for water quality research, according to the Times-Tribune. The $329,094 grant will also support additions to the sanctuary’s visitor’s center. The sanctuary will get a new water purification system and its lab will obtain an instrument for measuring phytoplankton, as well as a new spectrophotometer. Overall, the new construction projects will add to the sanctuary’s appeal to researchers from around the world. The sanctuary holds one of the United States’ most pristine lakes, Lake Lacawac, which was created by glaciers and has seen minimal human contact. It attracts prominent researchers, and officials say the improvements will help meet their needs.
