In-Situ
Measurement Instrumentation |
|
AlgaeTorch
In-situ
measurement of cyanobacteria has never been
easier.... Power up, submerge and
measure!
It's as simple as that and all
in less than 1 minute!
|
The AlgaeTorch is lightweight, field portable and
designed to measure total chlorophyll and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria).
The pigments of the algae are spectrally excited subsequently by
three colored LEDs at a high frequency. In response, the algae
emit red fluorescence light and the intensity of this light is used
for calculation of the different algae types (i.e. blue-greens and
total micro-algae). Results are displayed and stored in the
internal memory and can easily be transferred to a PC via the USB
port for further analysis.

BenthoTorch
In-situ measurement of benthic algae has never been easier....
Power up, place head on sample and measure ...
... and get your results in less
than 15 seconds!
|
The BenthoTorch is lightweight, field
portable and designed to measure benthic algae in real time and
in situ by utilizing fluorometric characteristics of the
different algal pigments in the intact cell. No sample
preparation is required. Results are displayed and stored
in the internal memory and can easily be transferred to a PC via the
USB port for further analysis.

Fluoroprobe
|
A unique in-situ spectrofluorometer
which provides accurate measurements of up to 5 different algae
classes and total chlorophyll in one portable unit.
The FluoroProbe
quickly and reliably determines chlorophyll concentration down to
depths of 100 meters making it an ideal instrument for depth
profiling. The measurements can be displayed on-line 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 (i.e. blue-green algae/cyanobacteria, green algae,
diatoms/dinoflagellates/chrysophytae, cryptophytae). This
enables the instrument to analyze the occurence and distribution of
algae on site without the necessity of the laboratory.
