Deep SeapHOx™ V2 Ocean CT(D)-pH-DO Sensor

Product Line Shipping Hold Update

Sea-Bird Scientific has been working with Honeywell to re-start the production of the sensing elements needed for the Shallow SeaFET/SeapHOx (gel-based DuraFET).

Quality of incoming pH units has not yet met the requirements for use in the Shallow SeaFET/SeapHOx but is improving. Next round of test articles are expected mid-July 2024.

We will resume service of Shallow SeaFETs and SeapHOxes as our first priority for the available inventory for DuraFETs and will start accepting quote requests for new units once qualification has been confirmed.

Other pH product lines that include the Deep SeapHOx V2, HydroCAT-EP V2, SBE 18, and SBE 27 are not impacted by this validation process with Honeywell and remain serviceable and active for new production orders.

Accurate long-term pH measurements
The Deep SeapHOx™ V2 combines the SeaFET™ V2 pH sensor with the SBE 37-SMP-ODO MicroCAT CTD+DO sensor. The SeapHOx™ V2 allows for the integrated data collection of pH with the critical oceanographic and biological measurement of temperature, salinity, and oxygen. The integrated package also allows the SeaFET™ V2 to take advantage of the SBE 37's pumped flow path and anti-fouling technology, extending deployment durations in some cases.

Features:

• Moored pH, Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, and Optical Dissolved Oxygen, at user-programmable intervals from 5 minutes to 24 hours.
• Internal memory and batteries
• Field-proven MicroCAT family, with more than 10,000 instruments deployed
• Maximum depth 2000 m

• Internal pump
• Ion-selective field effect transistor
• RS232 or USB interface
