We select proven instruments from trusted manufacturers to ensure consistent quality, optimize solutions based on real working conditions to solve practical challenges, and provide tailored configurations to meet specific application needs.
By combining selection expertise with application understanding, Instrava helps customers reduce risk, improve efficiency, and achieve dependable results in complex industrial environments.

What is the difference between membrane and optical (fluorescence) DO models, and how should we choose?
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.
How does the meter ensure accuracy under varying environmental conditions?
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.
What is the expected maintenance workload for the probes?
Membrane Model:
Periodic membrane cap replacement
Electrolyte refill
Calibration after maintenance
Optical Model:
No membrane
No electrolyte
No polarization
Resistant to chemical interference
For procurement managers evaluating total cost of ownership (TCO), the optical model significantly reduces maintenance labor and consumables over time.
Can this meter be used for aquaculture and wastewater compliance testing?
Yes. With measurement ranges up to:
0.0–30.0 mg/L (membrane)
0.0–20.0 mg/L (optical)
0–199% saturation
The device supports applications including:
Aquaculture pond oxygen management
Municipal wastewater treatment
Environmental field inspection
Laboratory water analysis
Industrial process monitoring
Its ±3% FS accuracy and 0.1 mg/L resolution meet most field compliance and operational control requirements.
Is the device suitable for field deployment in humid or wet environments?
The upgraded sealed housing features a triple-protection structure to prevent moisture and water ingress. Combined with:
Backlit large LCD (41×50 mm)
3.5 m probe cable
10-minute auto shut-off
Battery-powered portability
It is optimized for on-site and mobile measurement scenarios.
Does the device support data logging for reporting and traceability?
Yes. The meter allows manual storage of up to 99 data records, supporting:
Field inspection documentation
Compliance sampling records
Operational adjustment logs
For engineering teams that require traceability but do not need continuous online logging systems, this provides practical, lightweight data retention functionality.
