The YSI 58 is a proven field and laboratoryinstrument. The 58 displays oxygen concentrations in two temperature-compensatedmodes.
The instrument offers manual salinity correction, recorder output, and operationfrom line power or batteries. The case also holds additional
batteries for an optional DO field stirrer.
- Portable
- Lab and field
- Rugged
- Works with a variety of YSI probes

| 5239, 5718, 5739, 5750 |
Typical response for temperature and dissolved oxygen readings is 90% in 10 seconds at a low constant temperature of 30°C with the 5775 membrane. DO response and low temperature and low DO is typically 90% in 30 seconds. YSI 5776 High Sensitivity membranes may be used to improve response at low temperature and DO concentrations. |

| Sensor Materials | Cathode | Gold |
| Anode | Silver | |
| Temperature | Accuracy | + 0.2°C |
| OperatingRange | 0° to 45°C | |
| Sensitivity | When measuring oxygen, the probe output current increases approximately 3.5% per 1°C of increase in temperature. The circuitry automatically compensates for this effect in a typical probe. However, the exact temperature sensitivity of an individual probe may vary slightly according to its condition. Therefore, a probe should be calibrated at a temperature close to the measurement temperature in order to minimize the possible effect of such variation. |
