- | Dissolved oxygen probes provide a convenient approach to essentially direct measurement of molecular oxygen. The membrane isolates the electrode from the sample, and oxygen is detected as it diffuses across the membrane. The probe can be used to measure any system where oxygen is present. Calibration of the sensor is readily achieved if knowledge of oxygen concentration or solubility at a specific condition is known. | ||

The solubility of oxygen in water is achieved by physical solution which does not involve chemical interaction between the compounds. The solubility equilibrium is a function of the following factors: | The solubility of oxygen in water is achieved by physical solution which does not involve chemical interaction between the compounds.
