ProDSS Total Algae PC Sensor

The ProDSS Total Algae-Phycocyanin (TAL-PC) freshwater smart sensor is a dual-channel fluorescence-based sensor used for early detection of blue-green algae which can lead to harmful algal blooms.

This sensor has two channels: one for phycocyanin, an accessory pigment commonly found in freshwater blue-green algae, and one for chlorophyll a, found in all algae.

The Total Algae sensor is perfect for applications like beach monitoring, vertical or horizontal profiling, and source water monitoring for potentially toxic algae – especially when paired with the ProDSS multiparamter system.

Built for the field, this sensor features welded titanium construction and military-specification connectors which are ideal for rugged conditions. Similar to other smart sensors, the TAL has onboard memory, processing, and allows for sensor-zeroing to be performed on-site.
