Chlorophyll-a (Algae) Sensor
ART-CA2
Optical fluorescence sensor for in-situ chlorophyll-a detection — the front-line early warning tool for algal bloom events in drinking water supplies and recreational water bodies.
Applications
HABs monitoring (lakes reservoirs ponds estuaries) | Drinking water intake early warning | Surface water ecological health surveys | Aquaculture pond management | Stormwater retention pond monitoring
Key Features
Real-time detection of total algal biomass via chlorophyll-a fluorescence | Early warning capability for HABs before visible bloom formation | High-sensitivity range spans oligotrophic to hypereutrophic conditions | Auto-wiper system prevents biofilm from masking the optical window
