SCUFA® Submersible Fluorometer
Characteristics:
Fluorometer for Chlorophyll and dye trace pigments; Each apparatus contains one of the following channels: Chlorophyll a, Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, Rhodamine WT or Fluorescein
The SCUFA
®, has as integrated Factory unit, one of the following options: Turbidity Channel, Data Logger or internal temperature compensation
The SCUFA
® Basic Package includes a fluorometer (p/n: 2000-010), Windows® Interface Software and a PC Interface Cable
The SCUFA
®, with its integrated temperature probe and software, automatically corrects fluorescence data of temperature effects
Turbidity can also cause errors in fluorescent readings. The SCUFA
® II, and III utilize a dedicated secondary channel for turbidity measurement that provides valuable data for potential correlation and correction
0-5V and RS-232 signal outputs are standard features, so the SCUFA
® can be mated to a variety of CTDs and data collection devices
The SCUFA's menu-driven software provides the interface for instrument configurations and data analysis
SCUFA
® can be used in dramatically different environments without manually changing gain settings or going over range
Applications:
The SCUFA
® (Self-Contained Underwater Fluorescence Apparatus) can be used to calculate the concentration of the following pigments: Chlorophyll a, Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, Rhodamine WT or Fluorescein; Those data can be used to estimate the Ecosystem Primary Productivity, the chlorophyll, the phytoplankton total, plus nutrient status. Each parameter has to be analyzed with a specific channel of the apparatus, which is obtained separately.
