Description
The Wireless Optical Dissolved Oxygen (ODO) Sensor is ideal for monitoring DO2 in the lab or field. The Wireless Optical DO Sensor contains three different sensors. In addition to the dissolved oxygen sensor, it also includes sensors for measuring atmospheric pressure and water temperature. The optical technology is accurate, fast, and does not require stirring, filling solutions, warm-up, or frequent calibration. When equipped with the included cover, the sensor has a waterproof design and is submersible to a depth of 10 m.
A PASCO exclusive feature allows you to log data using the sensor’s built-in memory. After collecting data for hours or even days, simply connect the sensor to your device and you’re ready to download your data. With this powerful sensor, educators can explore day and night nutrient cycles, changes in metabolic processes, seasonal changes in water quality, and more.

No need for an interface.
All PASCO Wireless Sensors connect to computers, Chromebooks, and tablets, through Bluetooth 4. No other equipment required! Our software (SPARKvue or PASCO Capstone) allows students to see and analyze data in real-time.
Long-lasting, rechargeable battery
The Wireless Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor draws as little current as possible. This provides you with a long battery life for lab activities. Our software also displays the battery level at all times. If it dips too low, connect the USB cable to charge while you collect data.
