6.1 DO Standardization
The CyberScan DO 5000 has two standardization modes. There is auto- standardization, merely requiring the touch of a button to complete. There is also manual standardization. Here the DO value, in either % Saturation or mg/L units, of the standard will be entered manually by means of a keypad, which appears on the screen.
It is necessary to standardize the meter when the probe is in an environment with a known concentration of oxygen. One such environment is water-saturated air. Most commonly, this involves placing the DO probe into a BOD bottle filled with about 1 inch of water. Stirring is not required. Another environment is air-saturated water, achieved by aerating 300 – 500 ml of water for at least 15 minutes. The probe can be placed into the water with stirring provided. Lastly, the probe is placed into an environment whose oxygen content has been determined by a Winkler titration. The meter is standardized in the manual mode.
Prior to standardization, adequately prepare the probe as recommended in its operation manual.
ONCE STANDARDIZATION IS SET, IT WILL BE APPLICABLE IN OTHER MODES.

Measuring DO with Auto Read ON
The measure screen provides a readout of the current sample measurement. If Auto Read is active, the meter will lock onto a reading until meas is touched. If Auto Read is inactive, the meter will continuously monitor the DO and the reading will indicate any change in the DO level, Regardless of the status of the Auto Read mode, a STABLE message is displayed when the measurement meets the stability criteria chosen.
Once the meter has been standardized, you are ready to take DO measurements.
To Measure DO with Auto Read ON
1. Insert the probe into the sample
2. Provide stirring, such as that provided by the self-stirring BOD
probe.
3. Touch meas, and permit the reading to stabilize

To measure BOD, a sample is seeded and incubated in the dark at 20°C for five days. The dissolved oxygen concentration is then measured and subtracted from the initial, pre-incubation, dissolved oxygen concentration. The difference is a measure of the biochemical oxygen demand, or BOD of the sample.
76
Instruction Manual CyberScan DO5000
With the CyberScan DO 5000, BOD calculations are automatic. When the BOD button is touched, a variety of meter screens will sequentially appear, allowing you to enter information essential to a BOD calculation. Among these are the sample description, ID number, and date. If a search of the memory does not match the current sample ID, the meter treats the sample’s DO reading as an initial reading. If the sample ID is matched in the data log, and at least one day has passed, the meter treats the sample’s DO reading as a final reading, and based on parameters previously entered, calculates and displays the sample BOD, along with all relevant information.(If the sample ID is matched on the same day as the initial DO reading, the meter will assume a new reading, and offer information includes a sample description, sample bottle ID volume), final dilution (ml sample: ml bottle volume), initial and final DO values, and the average BOD value. The average is derived from all BOD values with the same sample description and date.
Once the meter has been standardized, you are ready to measure DO for a BOD measurement.

3. Using the bottle ID numeric touch pad, key in a sample bottle ID number
4. Touch enter to accept the bottle ID number.
If the meter’s barcode scanning feature is employed, simply scan the bottle to record its ID number.
If, at this point, the meter matches the seed’s identification parameters with those stored in the memory and at least one day has passed*, it accepts the current DO measurement as a final measurement. Using this value along with the initial DO value and associated information, a BOD for the seed is calculated, and stored in memory (See Viewed Stored Data). An average BOD calculated from all seed vales on this date will be used to calculate the seed correction value used in all subsequent sample therefore necessary to run seed samples on the same day as the BOD samples. Seed BOD data will be used only if the DO loss and the final DO exceed the criteria set under the Set BOD configuration option in setup.
*If a second BOD value is taken on the same day as the first BOD value, the meter will ask the user if he or she wants to repeat the first BOD measurement. Touch OK to do so and overwrite the first measurement. Touch Quit to return to the BOD measurement screen.

10 DO FUNDAMENTALS
Meter Operation The CyberScan DO 5000 meter uses the polarographic method of
determining dissolved oxygen concentration. A voltage is maintained across two electrodes (a gold cathode and a silver anode) and an electrolyte separated from the sample solution by an oxygen permeable membrane. Oxygen diffuses form the sample across the membrane where it is reduced at the cathode.
1) 0
+ 2H20 + 4e- 4OH
2
The current generated, I, by such an electrode is proportional to the oxygen concentration of the sample. The rate of oxygen reduction at the cathode is significantly faster than the rate of diffusion to the electrode. Therefore, the rate of oxygen reduction is diffusion limited.
2) I = k D [O2]
I is the measured current K is a proportionally constant D is the diffusion coefficient of oxygen
Equation 2 is a simplified description of current generated by the oxygen electrode. Many other factors such as electrode surface area, membrane thickness, membrane permeability coefficient, incorporated into the constants k and D. as the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is equal to that in the atmosphere, the electrode output is an indicator of oxygen partial pressure. The oxygen partial pressure differential between the sample and the electrolyte inside the electrode is the driving force bringing oxygen to the electrode.
Oxygen Solubility Oxygen Solubility in water is a critical parameter in many arenas
including biochemistry, industrial processes, and particularly environmental science and engineering. Sufficient dissolved oxygen is an absolute requirement for good water quality. It is essential for aerobic life and the natural purification processes to which they contribute. Dissolved oxygen concentrations below 5 ppm will result in substantial damage to the aquatic ecosystem, and concentration below 2 ppm can result in fish kills and growth of harmful bacteria.
