Libelium Soil oxygen level SO-411 Sample

Oxygen is the second major constituent of Earth's atmosphere and is crucial for the development of life. There are sensors that measure oxygen in two states: dissolved in a solution and in a gaseous state. The soil oxygen level sensor probe measures gaseous oxygen.

The soil oxygen level sensor probe consists of a galvanic cell type sensor and offers a measure of the percentage of the total number of molecules of oxygen in the air. This sensor is specially designed for use in soil or porous media.

Socket
Connect the SO-411 or the SO-421 sensor probes to Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture Xtreme in any of the sockets shown in the image below.

Installation
The SO-411 sensor is designed to be installed in soil or porous media in a vertical position, with the opening pointing down and the cable pointing up. This sensor can be used with the accessory model A0-001, designed to facilitate measurements in soil or porous media. It consists of a diffusion head that maintains an air pocket and provides protection to the Teflon membrane where gas diffusion occurs.

Application examples

• Measurement of O2 in laboratory experiments
• Monitoring gaseous O2 in indoor environments for climate control
• Monitoring of O2 levels in compost piles and mine tailings
• Monitoring redox potential in soils
• Determination of respiration rates through measurement of O2 consumption in sealed chambers
• Measurement of O2 gradients in soil/porous media

Quality assurance certificate
Together with this sensor, we provide a quality assurance certificate in which the manufacturer ensures that the sensor has passed the internal quality procedures.
