Tech Tips
Calibrating the HydroCAT-EP V2’s pH Sensor
Grab some pH buffer solutions and follow Cody Littleton, our primary HydroCAT-EP Service Technician, as he walks you through how to calibrate this pH sensor.
Sea-Bird University: The New HydroCAT-EP V2
Watch our latest Sea-Bird University session, to learn how to use, maintain, and process data from our latest multiparameter instrument, the HydroCAT-EP.
Flushing and Storing pH Sensors on the HydroCAT-EP V2
We’ve built new safety features around the HydroCAT-EP V2’s pH sensor. Watch Greg teach you how to properly flush and store your pH sensors to get the most out of your gear.
HydroCAT-EP V2 Overview
The HydroCAT-EP V2 is the next generation of multiparameter instruments. It measures CTD data alongside dissolved oxygen, pH, fluorescence, and turbidity, all within a single self-contained package. Learn about the new changes to this product.
Calibrating Dissolved Oxygen Sensors
Our dissolved oxygen sensors, the SBE 43 and SBE 63, are calibrated with tools and methods we learned from calibrating our world-class temperature and conductivity sensors. Get a look behind the scenes in our calibration lab.
SUNA V2 UV Nitrate Calibration
The SUNA V2 is an ultraviolet spectrometer designed to measure nitrate in-situ. At Sea-Bird, we use a temperature-controlled bath and various solutions to characterize and calibrate the sensor’s output. Learn how we prepare SUNA V2s for seawater and freshwater deployments.
Calibrating ISFET pH Sensors
ISFET pH sensors, like the SeaFET V2 and SeapHOx V2, receive a factory calibration, and don’t require regular field maintenance. Learn how we’ve adapted our calibration facility to account for conditions these instruments meet in the wild.
Calibration at Sea-Bird Scientific: Metrology
Watch this video to learn about the tools that we use to achieve optimal accuracy from Sea-Bird’s resident Metrologist, Laura Collins.
Sea-Bird 101: Conductivity Cells
Conceptually, inductive moorings seem complex – communicating with 100 instruments through a single cable doesn’t exactly sound intuitive. But, in practice, the setup is surprisingly simple. Watch our latest video to see how easy it is to test and simulate an inductive modem mooring.
