microDOT® Plus

microDOT® Plus

Parameters

  • Dissolved Oxygen
  • Temperature

The microDOT® Plus monitors dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and saturation in real time with a compact, longdwell DO sensor. An integrated anti-fouling wiper enables extended deployments and continuous access to water quality insights.

Product Features

Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

The microDOT® is an OEM sensor offering of the miniDOT® logger's proven DO sensing technology, making it accurate, compact, durable, and affordable.

Anti-Fouling Wiper

This submersible, self-contained device uses a rotating brush to sweep the sensor surface, reducing organism growth and preventing biofouling. After each pass, the brush retracts to avoid interference, ensuring accurate, continuous monitoring.

Seamless Bristlemouth Integration

The microDOT Plus is fully Bristlemouth-compatible, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into an open-source ecosystem.
