Chlorophyll a
Chlorophyll a  Sensor by Turner Designs

Hydrolab provides the most accurate Chlorophyll a sensor available on a multiprobe.

 

Features:

  • Ultra-compact size designed by specifically for integration into the Hydrolab DS5X, DS5, and MS5
  • Available with solid Secondary Standards to provide a quick and simple method to verify the sensor’s stability over time
  • The Secondary Standard can be adjusted to correlate to a known chlorophyll concentration
  • Three auto-selected gain ranges provide a wide measurement range of 0.03 to 500 µg/l for Chlorophyll a

Benefits:

  • Provides the most accurate measurement of Chlorophyll a because of electronic filtration of ambient light, efficient optical coupling, and quality optical components
  • Incredibly fast response time through electronic filtration of ambient light
  • Excellent turbidity rejection due to small sample volume design and high quality optical filters
  • Cost optimized for affordability and value

Corrosion Resistance: Standard fluorometers have stainless steel enclosures that will corrode in aggressive saline environments, such as oceans, bays, and estuaries, and should not be used in these applications. For sondes that will be used in saline environments, Hach Environmental now offers fluorometers housed in titanium (DS5 and DS5X only) for added corrosion resistance. Consult with your sales representative for additional details.
