The miniCTD is a new profiling CTD from Valeport, designed for short term or budget applications where sensor performance cannot be compromised. Utilising the same Conductivity and Temperature technology available on our larger instruments, the miniCTD runs on a single C cell, and is fitted with a large Flash memory to record several hundred profiles.
Supplied with DataLog Express software, the device features a variety of pre-programmed sampling modes for easy set-up and operation. Available in both 6000m titanium and 500m acetal versions.
