Advancing pH monitoring – an autonomous sensor for diverse environments

In this final part of the Q&A series, we interviewed Tatjana Leibssle, Application Specialist from ClearWater Sensors (CWS). Their pH sensor is a versatile autonomous sensor developed to measure pH in any water body. Key applications include ocean acidification studies and coastal pH measurements.

Tatjana Leibssle, Application Specialist, ClearWater Sensors

What is your role and what do you work on?
I’m an application specialist at ClearWater Sensors. My role is to work closely with our sensor, explain how it works to customers, and support them with technical questions and practical use.

Can you tell me about the pH sensor developed by ClearWater sensors?
Clearwater has developed a pH sensor that can be deployed in oceans, rivers, lakes, and other water bodies. It works especially well for seawater applications.

What makes this sensor unique?
The sensor offers very high accuracy and precision while requiring very low maintenance. Once it is running, most of the work is automated, so users do not need to do much.

What are the next steps in development?
The next step is to add an additional thermistor to measure seawater temperature outside the sensor. There are also plans to connect the sensor with other measurement devices, so pH can be combined with parameters such as salinity and oxygen.
