ProDSS Total Algae PE Sensor

The ProDSS Total Algae-Phycoerythrin (TAL-PE) saltwater sensor is used for early detection of blue-green algae, which can lead to harmful algal blooms.

This dual-channel fluorescence-based sensor has a channel for the accessory pigment phycoerythrin, commonly found in saltwater blue-green algae. The second channel, however, is for chlorophyll, which can be relevant for all types of problematic algae, including red tide and brown tide 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.
