The new YSI MultiLab® Pro IDS brings multi-parameter electrochemistry measurement into a single, compact benchtop instrument. In this recorded session, Ben Sutter, YSI Lab Product Manager, walks through the features and capabilities of the MultiLab Pro IDS — available in two-channel (Pro 20 IDS) and four-channel (Pro 40 IDS) configurations that measure pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and BOD simultaneously.

You'll learn about the instrument's capacitive touchscreen with glove-friendly operation, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance features with user administration and audit trail, LIMS connectivity with data export in PDF, JSON, and CSV formats, and compatibility with IDS intelligent digital sensors — including wireless probe options that free up bench space. Ben also covers probe selection across pH, ORP, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen (optical and polarographic), calibration options including custom buffer sets, and the onboard manual and methods that simplify daily workflow.

The session closes with a live Q&A where Ben addresses probe compatibility with earlier MultiLab systems, BOD calibration methods, and questions from lab professionals in the audience.
