| topic | recommendation | note |
| probe preparation |
Ensure membrane and electrolyte are correctly installed; remove air bubbles and verify stability before measurement. |
Polarographic probes require correct membrane condition for stable results. |
| calibration |
Calibrate with air-saturated water for routine use; apply zero oxygen calibration when SOP requires. |
Calibration reminder helps keep measurement traceability. |
| compensation |
Keep ATC enabled; use barometric compensation and set the correct pressure unit; apply salinity factor correction for saline samples. |
Pressure and salinity significantly affect DO results. |
| data management |
Use GLP storage (1000 groups) and export logs/results via USB or RS-232 for reporting. |
GMP logs support tracking and analysis of stored data. |
