The Aquafluorâ„¢ is a lightweight, handheld fluorometer/turbidimeter. Its dual channel capability allows the user to measure either fluorescence or turbidity in one sample.
The Aquafluor can be configured for any two channels as follows: in vivo chlorophyll a; cyanobacteria (phycocyanin or phycoerythrin); turbidity, Rhodamine WT; fluorescein; ammonium and extracted chlorophyll a.
Highlights of the AquaFluorâ„¢
• Dual channels allow for quick toggling between two applications
• Small size easily fits in shirt or jacket pocket
• Dust-proof and watertight for field use, it even floats!
• Single-point plus blank calibration
•12 bit resolution
• Operates using AAA batteries for >1,000 measurements per set
• 5 second warm up
• Low maintenance field fluorometer
