CHLOROPHYLL FluoroProbe III
The depth-profiling instrument for the rapid analysis of chlorophyll content and algal classes
The bbe FluoroProbe III is a highly sensitive measuring instrument for the in vivo analysis of chlorophyll in real microalgae and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Individual profiles for the different algal classes are created during the measurement. The algal content is determined by evaluating the chlorophyll fluorescence in real time. Without the necessity of using a laboratory, it is possible to completely analyse the occurrence and distribution of algae in different water bodies, if necessary at different depths. Interference from e.g. humic substances is compensated using the integrated yellow substances measurement. The optional, automatic turbidity correction is unique among fluorometers and makes chlorophyll determination with the bbe FluoroProbe even more reliable.
