Van London Blue Green Algae (Phycocyanin) Sensor with Teledyne Connector
The detection of phycocyanin is a critical component of environmental monitoring of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). 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
Blue green algae sensors play a critical role in monitoring ecosystems such as:
- Freshwater systems: Lakes, reservoirs, and rivers that provide drinking water and recreational spaces.
- Brackish water environments: Estuaries and lagoons where cyanobacteria blooms can disrupt ecosystems and biodiversity.
- Coastal zones: Shallow marine waters vulnerable to nutrient pollution from agricultural and urban runoff.
- Wastewater and reclamation systems: Effluent ponds and lagoons where cyanobacteria growth must be controlled to ensure safe reuse or discharge.
- Aquaculture systems: Tanks and ponds where algae growth can harm fish health and reduce productivity.
AlpHa’s phycocyanin fluorometer sensor empowers water quality specialists and researchers to take proactive steps in safeguarding freshwater ecosystems.
