Van London Chlorophyll a Sensor with Amphenol Connector
Understanding chlorophyll a concentrations is fundamental to advancing research & education in aquatic ecosystems and water quality. In university research labs, chlorophyll a sensors enable students and researchers to gain insights into algal dynamics, environmental change, and ecosystem health.
AlpHa’s XC-CHLA sensor utilizes patent pending optical technology with the following unique features:
- Industry leading minimum detection limit at 0.01 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 chlorophyll a is essential in research and education for the following reasons:
- Supporting student learning with hands-on experiments in water quality analysis
- Facilitating cutting-edge research into algal blooms, nutrient pollution, and ecosystem restoration
- Providing accurate, reproducible data for academic studies and publications
- Enabling the development of innovative environmental monitoring technologies
AlpHa’s chlorophyll a fluorometer offers a powerful sensor for education and discovery, helping to inspire the next generation of environmental scientists.
