Innovative Water Quality Sensor: Prototype Development and Testing

MorSens Environmental Technology Inc是一家位于安大略省萨德伯里的公司，从事环境数据收集和分发领域的业务。其所有产品都基于开放访问和互操作性的行业标准协议。寒武纪学院和MorSens之间的这项研究合作将为湖泊、河流、湿地和工业池塘设计和开发一种多传感器仪器（“探空仪”）。该遥感阵列将具有许多功能，包括：深度，温度，氧浓度，pH值，电导率，氧化还原电位（ORP），光照水平和浊度传感器。这款产品成功的关键在于它的尺寸，而不是它的功能。即使内置了可充电电池，探空仪也只有12厘米高，2.5厘米直径。探空仪将是真正的创新，因为目前市场上的其他类似传感器通常是40厘米高x 5厘米直径，并且不提供仪器的范围。

MorSens Environmental Technology Inc, a Sudbury, Ontario-based company, operates in the field of environmental data collection and distribution. All of its products are based on industry-standard protocols for open access and interoperability. This research collaboration between Cambrian College and MorSens will design and develop a multi-sensor instrument ("sonde") for lakes, rivers, wetlands, and industrial ponds. This remote sensing array will have many functions including: sensors for depth, temperature, oxygen concentration, pH, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), light level, and turbidity. The key to this product's success will be its size despite its functionality however. Even with its built-in, rechargeable batteries, the sonde will only measure 12 cm tall and 2.5 cm diameter. The sonde will be truly innovative as other similar sensors currently on the market are generally 40 cm tall x 5 cm diameter, and do not offer the range of instruments.
