In wastewater treatment, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and laboratory analysis, accurate dissolved oxygen (DO) measurement directly impacts biological process efficiency, energy optimization, and regulatory compliance.
The Instrava Portable Dissolved Oxygen Meter is engineered to provide high-precision DO measurement with both membrane and optical fluorescence probe options, allowing users to select the most suitable technology based on maintenance strategy and operational environment.
With triple compensation (temperature, salinity, altitude), upgraded sealed protection design, and stable ±3% FS accuracy, this instrument ensures reliable performance across varying environmental conditions. Designed for field engineers, plant operators, and laboratory technicians, it balances measurement stability, ease of use, and long-term cost efficiency.

Instrava OEM/ODM
At Instrava, our instruments are developed with a strong focus on real industrial applications. Each product is designed to operate as a reliable component within measurement, control, and automation systems, rather than as a standalone device.
Our engineering team supports customers during product selection by evaluating process conditions, operating environments, and system requirements, ensuring stable and long-term performance in actual use.
In addition to standard configurations, Instrava offers flexible customization options, including measurement range, materials, output signals, communication interfaces, and installation methods. All custom solutions are engineered to meet industrial standards and application-specific demands.
We also support OEM projects and system integration, providing consistent product design, technical documentation, and long-term supply to ensure smooth integration and reliable operation throughout the project lifecycle.

From an engineering standpoint, the membrane model (JE8803) is cost-effective and suitable for routine field testing with standard maintenance schedules.
The optical fluorescence model (JE8803A) is designed for higher stability and lower lifecycle cost. It requires:
No membrane replacement
No electrolyte refilling
No polarization time
Less frequent calibration
For continuous field deployment, aquaculture farms, wastewater plants, or environments containing H₂S, heavy metals, oil, or corrosive media, we recommend the optical version for operational stability and reduced downtime.
Dissolved oxygen concentration is directly influenced by temperature, salinity, and altitude. Instrava integrates triple compensation mechanisms:
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
Salinity Compensation (0–42 ppt)
Altitude Compensation (0–3500 m)
This design ensures reliable DO readings across freshwater, seawater, plateau regions, and industrial process environments.
Membrane Model:
Periodic membrane cap replacement
Electrolyte refill
Calibration after maintenance
Optical Model:
No membrane
No electrolyte
