Services
miniDOT Logger
This submersible instrument measures dissolved oxygen and temperature in aquatic environments using fluorescence technology. Researchers deploy it for long-term monitoring in lakes, oceans, and wastewater systems. The logger stores data on an internal SD card for reliable field collection.
miniPAR Logger
Designed to track photosynthetically active radiation through water columns, this logger supports studies on aquatic plant growth and ecosystem productivity. It operates in both freshwater and marine environments with high accuracy across varying depths.
C-FLUOR Logger
This specialized logger integrates with Turner Designs sensors to detect chlorophyll and fluorescent dyes in water. Scientists use it for algal bloom monitoring and tracer studies, providing critical data for environmental impact assessments.
T-Chain System
A customizable vertical profiling system that measures temperature gradients at multiple depths simultaneously. Marine researchers use it for studying thermal stratification patterns in coastal and open ocean environments.
WIPER Maintenance Kit
This automated wiper system prevents biofouling on sensors during extended deployments. It maintains measurement accuracy in challenging environments by periodically cleaning sensor surfaces while allowing continuous data collection.
