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.

C-sense is a compact, lightweight, plug-n-play sensor designed for measurement of the partial pressure of CO2 gas in liquids. Combining an oil resistant hydrophobic membrane and a temperature compensated non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector, C-sense measures the
partial pressure of CO2 in water, oil, and water and oil mixtures.

C-sense operates through the diffusion of gas across a hydrophobic membrane into an isolated headspace. While any resident gas may enter the headspace, the wavelength of the infrared sensor is specific to CO2  absorption. The amount of absorption of that wavelength is proportional to the concentration of CO2 gas in the headspace.

Specifically designed for applications involving immersion in water, oil, or water and oil mixtures, C-sense sensors incorporate an oil-resistant interface with a compact, temperature-compensated non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector.

C-sense are available in four standard measurement ranges:

• 1,000ppm
• 2,000ppm
• 4,000ppm
• 10,000ppm
• other ranges available (discuss with Aqualab!)

Designed for integration, C-sense enables pCO2 monitoring at a significantly lower price than traditional pCO2 sensors.

Each C-sense ships with:

• 1 x C-sense sensor
• 1 x User Replaceable Membrane
• 1 x Copper Antifouling Guard (installed)
• 1 x Locking Sleeve Connector.

Manufactured by Turner Designs, the Cyclops-7F is a combination Fluorometer & Turbidity sensor ideal for spot check or unattended measurements.

Cyclops-7F sensors are high performance, compact submersible fluorescence and turbidity sensors designed for integration into any platform that provides power and datalogging.

Cyclops-7F are pin-compatible with Analog C-FLUOR Submersible Probes so they are easily integrated into many of the same third-party systems that accept 0-5V signal.

Available Parameters

• Blue Green Algae
– Phycoerythrin (marine)
– Phycocyanin (freshwater)

• CDOM/FDOM

• Chlorophyll in vivo
– Blue excitation
– Red excitation (high CDOM)

• Fluorescent Dye Tracing
– Fluorescein
– PTSA
– Rhodamine

• Hydrocarbons
– Crude Oil
– Refined Fuels

• Turbidity

• Wastewater Monitoring
– Optical Brighteners
– Tryptophan

• Custom Optics Available: 260-900 nm

Third Party Platforms

Cyclops-7F Sensors easily integrate into third-party platforms. Aqualab Scientific & Turner Designs has partnered with several integrators to provide single sensor packages, multi-probes and remote monitoring solutions for in situ sampling.  Examples include:

• DataBank Handheld Datalogger
• Trimeter Multiparameter Sonde
• Manta+25 Multiparameter Sonde
• Manta+30 Multiparameter Sonde
• Manta+35 Multiparameter Sonde
• Manta+40 Multiparameter Sonde

For longer term, or unattended deployments, Aqualab recommend the addition of a Hydro-Wiper mechanical wiper system to promote robust data capture.

The Handheld Little Dipper is a small, lightweight, highly durable handheld fluorometer ideal for quick measurements in the field.

Two versions are available:

• Fluorescein optics
• PTSA optics

Simple to operate, the Handheld Little Dipper is a perfect tool for system verification.

All Handheld Little Dippers include:

• 1 x Little Dipper
• 1 x Shade Cap
• 1 x Batteries
• 1 x Quick Start Guide
• 1 x Warranty (2 Years)

The Ballast Check 2 is a lightweight, highly portable handheld Fluorometer.

Ideal for quick indicative compliance checks of ballast water., the Ballast Check 2 is Factory calibrated, ready for use right out of the box and optimized for the ballast water D2 regulations.  No additional calibration is required.  All required accessories are included.

The precision and accuracy of the Ballast-Check 2 have been independently verified and demonstrated to correlate well with microscopy;  when  estimating cell counts even after UV treatment.

Simple one-button measurements display estimates for both algal abundance and algal activity, while also providing ship crew or port state control with an indication of risk for exceedance of the regulation.  Results are logged internally and can be downloaded as a PDF report which cannot be edited.

Ballast-Check 2 is ideal for quick on-the-spot indicative compliance tests of ballast water.

The AquaFlash is a highly portable Fluorometer specifically designed for the quick and accurate estimation of total chlorophyll and photosynthetic efficiency “health” of algae using in vivo fluorescence detection.

Simply insert a 10x10mm square glass or quartz cuvette with your sample and press READ.  Results will be displayed in less than 15 seconds.

Results are displayed and automatically logged to be viewed or downloaded at a later time.

The AquaFlash has a total data storage capacity of 1,000 measurements which include raw fluorescence values along with calculated estimates for user reference.
