AML Delivers First Cabled UV to USGS

AML Oceanographic released the sister product to UV•Xchange, Cabled UV, which aims to bring UV biofouling control to an even wider array of applications and devices.

As promised in the September 2014 in Marine Technology Reporter article, “Biofouling Foiled,” the new product launch comes six months after the debut of UV•Xchange, the first commercially available product to utilize UV light as a method to control biofouling on instrumentation. Cabled UV provides the technology of UV•Xchange in a format compatible with almost any device and capable of accommodating the individual requirements of each deployment, the manufacturer said.

AML marked the release with a delivery to the U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Sciences Center, Massachusetts. The USGS. Center in Woods Hole plans to test Cabled UV on its LISST instruments, while the product is also suitable for preventing growth on a broad spectrum of other equipment and surfaces, such as third party sensors, ADCPs, camera lenses, lights, hydrophones, sonar heads and more.
