RBRcoda chl-a

The RBRcoda chl-a (Fig. 9) is a 6000m capable realtime chlorophyll-a sensor designed to ensure sensitivity to low concentrations across the measurable range (0-500µg/L). Its compact form, fast sampling rates, low power consumption, and high depth rating make it well suited for use in a wide variety of applications. This dedicated chlorophyll-a fluorometer brings laboratory grade precision to the ocean environment while maintaining the ruggedness, reliability, and compact design required for field deployments.

All optical components of the RBRcoda chl-a are robust and durable, selected to minimise ageing due to UV/sunlight exposure, and thus show minimal change in properties over extended deployments. Its sapphire windows facilitate automated cleaning by a wiper to keep them free of biofouling during long-term moored deployments.

Deploy the RBRcoda chl-a with the detection window facing down and the connector end-cap pointing upwards to avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight.
