Dissolved oxygen (DO) measurement with handheld testers is important to quickly and accurately determine water quality and oxygen levels in different environments. Here are the main reasons and applications for such measurements:

Why is dissolved oxygen measurement important?

  • Monitoring water quality in natural and artificial bodies of water
  • Ensuring sufficient oxygen levels for fish and microorganisms
  • Optimizing biological processes in wastewater treatment plants and industrial applications
  • Control of aerobic and anaerobic conditions in laboratories or aquacultures

Important areas of application for the measurement of dissolved oxygen using pocket testers:

  1. aquaristics & fish farming
  • Ensuring optimum oxygen levels for fish and plants
  • Prevention of oxygen deficiency and fish mortality
  • Monitoring water quality in fresh and salt water aquariums
  1. environmental monitoring & water monitoring
  • Measurement of the oxygen content in rivers, lakes or ponds
  • Determination of ecological water quality
  • Detection of oxygen fluctuations caused by environmental pollution
  1. sewage treatment plants & wastewater treatment
  • Monitoring the oxygen supply in biological treatment processes
  • Optimization of aerobic and anaerobic degradation processes
  • Avoidance of odor formation due to anaerobic decomposition
  1. brewery & beverage industry
  • Control of dissolved oxygen to prevent oxidation
  • Ensuring a consistent taste in beer, wine or juices
  • Quality control during production and storage
  1. hydroponics & agriculture
  • Control of oxygen levels in nutrient solutions for plant growth
  • Improving root health through sufficient oxygen content
  • Prevention of root rot in hydroponic systems

What are the benefits of handheld dissolved oxygen meters?

  • Fast & accurate measurement - Instant results without laboratory analysis
  • Portable & easy to use - Perfect for on-site measurements
  • Use in various liquids - water, beverages, waste water etc.
  • Cost-effective alternative to stationary systems
