The AquapHOx underwater long-term loggers enable accurate and higly resolved total pH measurements, long-term O2 monitoring and trace O2 detection. They are available as single analyte shallow water and flexible deep-sea multi-analyte loggers. The cost-effective and easy-to-operate deep sea logger allows to measure O2 or total scale pH with the same compact instrument succesively. Simply exchange the sensor head, choose between different analytes and sensor formats and deploy down to 4000m water depth. For advanced underwater applications, PyroScience recently launched the unique all-in-one AquapHOx platform for monitoring critical parameters and their dynamics underwater; in open ocean, the deep sea, coastal ecosystems, rivers, lakes...
