C3 - Aqualab

C3

The C3 is a submersible Fluorometer that can be configured with an additional three optical sensors, ranging from deep ultraviolet to the infrared spectrum.

Available Parameters

(Choose up to three optical sensors)

CDOM/FDOM
Chlorophyll in vivo (blue excitation)
Chlorophyll in vivo (red excitation)
Fluorescein Dye
Oil – Crude
Oil – Fine
Optical Brighteners
Phycocyanin (freshwater cyanobacteria)
Phycoerythrin (marine cyanobacteria)
PTSA Dye
Rhodamine Dye
Tryptophan
Turbidity

Sensors on the C3 are factory installed to provide maximum sensitivity, with a broad range of detection. Every C3 comes with a factory installed temperature sensor, an optional depth sensor, and an optional mechanical wiper system with copper arms.

The C3 features a delrin housing, making it highly resistant to harsh environments. An antifouling copper plate is available for long term deployments.
