  In-Situ RDO Sensors


In-Situ RDO Rugged Dissolved Oxygen Sensors offer significant improvement over Clark cell and existing optical dissolved oxygen sensors. These patented world-beating RDO sensors have numerous field applications (see below) and are available on two of In-Situ's leading products:
- RDO PRO - a single parameter probe for process control applications.
- TROLL 9500 - a versatile multiparameter sonde for water quality monitoring in the field.

Rugged performance
Wiper-free sensor excels in demanding environments.
Abrasion-resistant foil withstands fouling, high sediment loads, and rapid flow rates.
- No hydration effects
- No conditioning required
- Not subject to thermal shocking
- Few interferences

Superior Precision and Accuracy
- Holds a calibration
- Excels in hypoxic conditions
- Fast, stable response - ideal for vertical profiling and rapidly changing DO conditions
- Operates with low drift over long-term deployments
- Deploys for several months without calibration

In-Situ RDO Stability

Automatic setup
RDO Cap with pre-loaded calibration coefficients simplifies setup and eliminates programming errors.

Minimal interferences
Sensor eliminates "poisoning"” by sulfides, sulphates, and hydrogen sulfide. No cross-sensitivity to carbon dioxide, ammonia, pH, or chloride.

Lower Total Costs
- No membranes to calibrate
- Fewer site visits
- Minimal sensor drift

EPA Recommends Approval of In-Situ® RDO® Optical DO Methods
The U.S. EPA has granted nationwide approval to three In-Situ RDO optical dissolved oxygen (DO) methods under the Alternate Test Procedure (ATP) process. These methods can be used in the measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) under the US Clean Water Act.
