Van London Blue Green Algae (Phycocyanin) Sensor with Amphenol Connector
Monitoring phycocyanin, a pigment found in blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), is crucial for understanding algal dynamics and water quality. In university research & education labs, sensors that detect blue-green algae enable the exploration of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and ecosystem health.
AlpHa’s XC-BGAF sensor utilizes patent pending optical technology with the following unique features:
- Minimum detection limit at 2 ppb
- Automatic temperature compensation
- Analog (0 – 3 V) or digital (RS-485 MODBUS RTU) output formats
- Options for custom OEM sonde multiparameter and stand-alone configurations
The measurement of phycocyanin is essential in research and education for the following reasons:
- Educating students on the role of cyanobacteria in aquatic systems through hands-on experimentation
- Supporting research on phycocyanin as a marker for early detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs)
- Providing precise, reproducible data for academic studies and environmental research projects
- Encouraging the development of innovative tools for water quality monitoring
AlpHa’s phycocyanin fluorometer sensor is invaluable for advancing student knowledge and promoting research innovation in aquatic science.
