YSI Conductivity Calibrator Solutions are secondary standard solutions for the calibration of conductivity cells together with conductance meters. The solutions are provided in two ranges of accuracy. The YSI 3161, 3163, and 3165 solutions are made to close tolerances and intended primarily for use in laboratory applications where other factors which strongly influence conductivity can also be tightly controlled or accurately measured. The YSI 3160, 3167, 3168, and 3169 solutions are made to less exacting tolerances and are intended mainly for use in field applications where other factors are less subject to close control or measurement.

Questions & Answers
Is this standard NIST traceable?
Yes, this conductivity standard is NIST-traceable.
What is the expiration period for the 1000mS conductivity standard from YSI?
The YSI conductivity standard has a shelf-life of 1-year, unopened (in plastic bottles) and 1-month after being opened. You can refer to the solution expiration guide here: www.fondriest.com/pdf/ysi_solution_expiration.pdf 
Does the YSI 1 mS conductivity standard solution have a freezing point?
The freezing point of the 1,000 uS-50,000 uS conductivity standard is listed as unknown on the SDS. However, the solution should not be stored below 2°C (35.6°F) and should never be frozen.

What is Conductivity?

UPDATE : Fondriest Environmental is offering their expertise in conductivity through their new online knowledge base. This resource provides an updated and comprehensive look at conductivity and why it is important to water quality. To learn more, check out: Conductivity, Salinity and TDS. Salinity and conductivity  measure the water's ability to conduct electricity, which provides a measure of what is dissolved in water. In the SWMP data, a higher conductivity value indicates that there are more chemicals dissolved in the water. Conductivity measures the water's ability to conduct electricity. It is the opposite of resistance. Pure, distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake

A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries

Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.
