YSI Introduces the 6136 Turbidity+ Sensor for 6-series instruments

In the interest of providing the users of YSI technology with the most accurate, reliable, and easy to use water quality monitoring technology, YSI announces the new 6136 wiped turbidity sensor.

Extensive empirical field and lab tests performed by YSI as well as by independent agencies in Alpha and Beta studies, document close agreement between in-situ measurements made with the YSI 6136 turbidity sensor and data from the Hach 2100AN: a laboratory instrument recognized as the standard for turbidity measurement.

Primarily, the new sensor is being offered to customers for three reasons:

		The extremely close agreement with the Hach 2100AN. Many of our customers desire this improved agreement with the industry standard.
		The 6136 turbidity sensor has less noise and thus provides smoother more reproducible readings and greater accuracy at low turbidity levels than the current 6026 turbidity sensor.
		The reliability of the sensor has been increased by improving the seals against leakage and by implementing a more robust motor/gearbox preventing premature wiper failure.

The agreement between in-situ turbidity measurements and measurements made
by commonly accepted laboratory technology has been a source of concern for investigators responsible for gathering turbidity data, especially for compliance and enforcement applications.

The 6136 is a fouling-resistant, wiped sensor providing highly accurate in-situ measurement of turbidity in fresh, brakish and sea water.

The 6136 sensor will attach to any 6-series sonde with an optical port and the latest software version 2.17 without the need to return your instrument to the service centre.
