Handheld Fluorometer for In Situ Chlorophyll Estimates
Turner Designs announced the launch of FluoroSense, a handheld fluorometer for measuring in vivo chlorophyll.
FluoroSense’s simple two-button keypad enables users to quickly power on the instrument and take a reading to estimate chlorophyll in almost any aquatic habitat. No warm-up time is required. Chlorophyll µg/L estimates are displayed in seconds.
The FluoroSense can estimate chlorophyll concentrations spanning the linear range from 0-199µg/L and resolve down to 1µg/L of chlorophyll.
The FluoroSense plastic molded enclosure boasts a lightweight, small, waterproof design, while offering a high degree of durability. With a very low power draw, the FluoroSense can take more than 10,000 measurements on a single pair of AA batteries.
Factory calibrated, the only maintenance required is simply rinsing after use.
