Ares Chlorophyll-a Sensor

Optical Fluorometer
Ares chloro
Description

The Ares Chlorophyll-A Sensor features state-of-the art technology for measuring chlorophyll concentrations for environmental water quality monitoring, oceanographic research, marine operations and aquaculture monitoring. The Ares is based on the optical measurement principle, using ultra bright energy-efficient blue LEDs as an excitation source and detectors with filtering to measure the red light produced via fluorescence by chlorophyll-a contained in algal cells. These digital optical sensors are programmed with a calibrated response to a fluorescence standard.
