Chlorophyll-a Sensor

Port Number:

ART-CA2

Connection Type:

Connects to ART-MPS1 Sonde

Optical fluorescence sensor for in-situ chlorophyll-a, the standard measure of algae. Gives early warning of algal blooms in drinking water sources, lakes, irrigation canals, aquaculture ponds and wastewater lagoons.

Datasheet

Measurement Principle

Optical (fluorescence with chlorophyll specific emission and excitation wavelengths)

0–500 µg/L

R² > 0.999 linearity

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

Features

Applications

HABs monitoring (lakes reservoirs ponds estuaries) | Drinking water intake early warning | Surface water ecological health surveys | Aquaculture pond management | Stormwater retention pond monitoring
