AQUA / 02 · INSTRUMENT REVIEW
Make water-condition evidence usable by operators, researchers, and funding partners without overstating instrument quality.
Which measurements create one credible base platform while supporting several research and SBIR/STTR directions?
Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, and depth/level are the comparison frame—not a purchase decision.
Compare calibration burden, replaceable probes, field logging, export access, anti-fouling, and total two-year cost.
The study question should determine accuracy, cadence, siting, replicates, and QA/QC requirements.
