Turner Designs AquaFluor handheld fluorometer/turbidimeter

The AquaFluor is a lightweight handheld fluorometer/turbidimeter which is suitable for field use. Its small size and durability makes it easy to use for quick measurements away from the laboratory. Dual-channel capability allows users to measure fluorescence and turbidity in one sample.

While small in size, performance has not been compromised. The AquaFluor brings simplicity and economy to Turner Designs’ line of fluorescence-based instrumentation.

The instrument can be configured with one or two of the following channels: turbidity; in vivo chlorophyll; extracted chlorophyll a; blue green algae - phycocyanin; blue green algae - phycoerythrin; fluorescein dye; rhodamine dye; ammonium; CDOM; optical brighteners for wastewater treatment; and PTSA.

Features include: dual channels which allow for quick toggling between two applications; small size which easily fits in a shirt or jacket pocket; dustproof and watertight for field use and it floats; single-point plus blank calibration; 12 bit resolution; operates using AAA batteries for >1,000 measurements/set; 5 s warm up; and low-maintenance field fluorometer.
