Portable Oxygen Measurement System with Wireless Control
OXYBase® WR-Blue
The OXYBase® WR-Blue is a battery-powered, wireless oxygen measurement system controlled by smartphone (Android or iOS app). It consists of a robust wide range OXYBase® probe (max. 0 - 100 % O2, limit of detection 0.03 % O2) with integrated temperature sensor and stainless steel housing, which is connected to a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module together with a data logger, and pressure sensor - for automatic compensation of the oxygen measurements - are integrated in a lightweight water jet protected housing (IP65). The device is controlled wirelessly via smartphone and the PreSens Wireless Studio app. The software allows changing measurement settings, controlling the measurements or calibrating the sensor, and offers additional features like salinity compensation. The graphical display of the ongoing measurement offers quick assessment of oxygen levels. Stored measurement data can be downloaded from the device to the smartphone and exported for further analysis. The app for wireless oxygen measurements is available in the Google Play store and Apple App Store.

Applications
Oxygen Monitoring in Aquaculture
OXYBase® are the solution to control dissolved oxygen in aquaculture. The robust probes can be connected to control units so ideal water conditions can be assured, thus also helping to increase yield. OXYBase® are real low-maintenance probes, as a used sensor can simply be replaced by changing the OEC at the probe tip.
OXYBase® in Biological & Environmental Research
OXYBase® are long-term stable probes that can be implanted in soil or other samples for prolonged time periods. They are ideally suited for long-term monitoring of e. g. soil aeration processes, which are very critical for plant productivity, or dissolved oxygen measurements in water samples.
