The MIDAS CTD+ is a revolutionary Multiparameter CTD, with a wide choice of standard sensors. Featuring Valeport’s latest 400 Series electronics, the CTD+ will sample all fitted sensors at exactly the same instant, at up to 8Hz. Advanced set-up software allows a variety of sampling regimes including burst modes, delay starts, and conditional sampling. With up to 64Mbyte memory and internal battery pack, as well as a selection of real time output formats, the CTD+ is perfect for both profiling or fixed mooring applications. In addition, the CTD+ may be used with Valeport own water bottle carousel.

Optional Sensors
Select from the following sensors. Note that in addition to the basic cost of each sensor, a charge is made for interfacing that sensor to the instrument. This covers the dedicated interface pcb, wiring, connectors and calibration charges where appropriate. We are happy to accept free-issued sensors for interfacing, but the interface charge must still be applied.
