YSI EXO Wiped CT Conductivity & Temperature Sensor

In long-term water quality monitoring, biofouling is the largest problem. Biofilms, barnacles, and algal growth are common reasons of poor data quality, clogging up conductivity cells and coating sensor optics. While YSI EXO2's Central Wiper can mechanically take away biofouling from other sensors to keep data integrity over long deployment periods, the anatomy of a standard conductivity & temperature sensor makes this anti-fouling technique ineffective...until now.
