Product	Notes
AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801542 and AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801347	Anti-foulant devices are used with Sea-Bird conductivity cells: PN 801542 began shipping with ALACE CTDs as of January 10, 2005, and with all other CTDs during 2006. PN 801347 shipped with all applicable instruments prior to January 10, 2005, and continued to ship with instruments other then ALACE CTDs through 2005 and part of 2006.
DC-4	Use to fill blind end of screw holes in aluminum and plastic housings -- prevents seawater from filling the space and causing hardware and housing corrosion, and prevents growth of salt crystals that can cause stuck hardware
DC-200	Oil for pressure port refill. See Application Note 12-1 for use with SBE 9 and 9plus, 16, 16plus or 16plus-IM with optional Digiquartz pressure sensor, 16plus V2 or 16plus-IM V2 with optional Digiquartz pressure sensor, 19, 19plus V2 with optional Digiquartz pressure sensor, 25, and 29; See SBE 26, 26plus, or 53 manuals for use with those instruments.
Blue Moly	Prevents corrosion and binding of hardware in aluminum and titanium housings
Panasonic Lithium Battery BR-2/3A **	BR-2/3A is used as back-up in instruments that have a lithium battery to back-up buffer and real-time clock in event of main battery failure or exhaustion: SBE 16, 19, 25, and older 21, and AFM -- two BR-2/3A SBE 16plus, 16plus-IM, 16plus V2, 16plus-IM V2, 19plus, 19plus V2, and newer 21 -- three BR-2/3A MicroCAT (SBE 37-IM, 37-IMP, 37-SM, and 37-SMP) and SBE 44 use a battery pack comprised of six parallel 9-volt batteries. Each 9-volt battery contains three BR-2/3A. See MicroCAT or SBE 44 manual for shipping precautions for battery pack. SBE 43 uses two BR-2/3A to maintain continuous polarization.
Panasonic Lithium Battery CR **	On SBE 43 PCB.
Ultralife Lithium Battery 9 Volt **	Power supply for SBE 39 (all serial numbers) and 39-IM (serial numbers 3089 through 3100).
Saft AA Lithium Battery 3.6 Volt **	Two of these batteries are used for power supply for 39-IM (serial numbers greater than 3100). See SBE 39-IM manual for shipping precautions for batteries.
Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cad) Battery	Ni-Cad battery pack is optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, and 25
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery **	NiMH battery pack is standard equipment for SBE 17plus V2; optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, and 25
Sorb-It Desiccant	For placement inside electronics housings to absorb moisture
Super-O-Lube	For lubricating O-rings and mating surfaces
Triton X-100	Octyl Phenol Ethoxylate, for cleaning conductivity cells (see Application Note 2D) and SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (see Application Note 64)
Potassium Chloride and Silver Chloride	Electrolyte solution for SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
