The C-Fluor sensor with Red Excitation Chlorophyll Optics uses red excitation light (approx. 630–640 nm) to measure chlorophyll a.
Thanks to this excitation optics, the sensor shows increased sensitivity to phytoplankton containing additional pigments, such as cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), which are commonly found in freshwater and drinking water reservoirs.
This makes the sensor a valuable tool for:
-
Monitoring cyanobacterial blooms (blue-green algae) in lakes and canals
-
Drinking water authorities tracking toxin risks
-
Research on phytoplankton composition in freshwater systems
-
Environmental agencies and water quality monitoring
The robust design and high sensitivity make the C-Fluor sensor reliable for long-term field applications, even under challenging conditions.
With its plug-and-play integration into various loggers and systems, the sensor is easy to deploy and operate.
Key features:
-
Excitation: red light (approx. 630–640 nm)
-
Measured parameter: chlorophyll a (enhanced sensitivity to cyanobacteria)
-
Applications: freshwater, reservoirs, drinking water, inland waters
-
Compact, robust and easy to integrate
