Algae Online Monitor is a portable and robust device for online detection and continuous monitoring of photosynthetic microorganisms in both natural and artificial water bodies. It detects and discriminates among a variety of cyanobacteria, green and brown algae, diatoms, and other microbes. Its ultra-high sensitivity (30 ng Chl/l) allows early detection of very low concentrations of these organisms.
FEATURES
Ultra-high sensitive, flow-through monitoring
Detection limit 30 ng Chl/l
Wide range of detected organisms: cyanobacteria, green and brown algae, diatoms, and other microorganisms
Variable excitation colors
Turbidity measurement
Measured fluorescence parameters: Fo, Ft, Fm, Fm', induction (OJIP), photosynthetic activity
Device modifications for phycoerythrin or phycocyanin (optional).
APPLICATIONS
Water treatment monitoring
Early detection of potentially harmful algae blooms
Effective control of water treatment chemicals.
