AlgSys _Fluoroprobe

The bbe FluoroProbe is a highly sensitive measuring instrument for chlorophyll analysis. It quickly and reliably determines chlorophyll concentration down to depths of 100m. The measuring data of the probe can be displayed online via a serial interface or stored in the probe for subsequent analysis. In addition to determining the chlorophyll content, the probe also detects the presence of algae and allocates them to various spectral algae classes (blue-green algae/cyanobacteria, green algae, diatoms / dinoflagellates / chrysophytae, cryptophytae). This enables the instrument to analyse the occurrence and distribution of algae on site without the necessity of a laboratory. The instrument is also capable of taking adaptations such that it may be used as a lab. Cuvette machine, a flow through online machine and a Benthic algae detection device. It is probably the most sophisticated insitu algal monitor available..
