Product Spotlight: Turner Designs C3 Submersible Fluorometer

Housing up to three optical sensors within a single system, Turner Designs’ C3 Submersible Fluorometer has the ability to simultaneously collect data on multiple water quality parameters.

The C3’s fast sampling rate, integrated pressure sensor, and large internal memory that stores up to 480,000 data points allow users to collect detailed information that helps characterize an aquatic system.

The C3 is rated for a depth of 600 meters and can operate at temperatures ranging from -2 to 50 degrees Celsius. A temperature sensor is included, and an optional mechanical wiper is available to reduce fouling on the optical elements if the unit is submerged over a long period of time.

An optional external submersible lithium ion battery allows the C3 to run during extended deployments. The included C-Soft Windows-based software allows for straightforward calibration, data logging setup, file management, and digital or analog data integration.

The submersible fluorometer can be used in freshwater, coastal, and open ocean applications. Available optical sensors range from the ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths and include:

• Turbidity
• Chlorophyll
• Blue-green algae (Phycocyanin and Phycoerythrin)
• Fluorescein dye
• Rhodamine dye
• CDOM
• Optical brighteners for wastewater treatment
• Crude oil
• Refined fuels
