Additionally, the PhycoLA measures the Indicator for cyanotoxins as well as flavours and odorous substances amount of unbound phycocyanin (free PC) which reflects the release of blue-green by phycocyanin measurements algae contents like toxins as well as flavours and odorous substances. Turbidity compensation up to 200 FTU The chlorophyll and phycocyanin content is excited by coloured LEDs and allocated to Maintenance-free the different algal classes. The PhycoLabAnalyser enables direct measurement without sample preparation by filtration or solvent. The fluorescence signals f Easy to use 0, f, and fm are used to calculate the photosynthetic activity using the Genty parameter Direct measurement method. A yellow substances (CDOM) correction is also used to correctly calculate the without preparation total chlorophyll content. The device is virtually maintenance-free and very simple to Laptop included operate thus saving both time and money.

The free colour pigments of the cyanobacteria Minimal maintenance are an important indicator for cyanotoxins as well as flavours and odorous substances Easy to use in raw water. The online device can also measure the photosynthetic activity of microalgae and the transmission. The detection of different algal classes by excitation Monitoring of algae with coloured LEDs distinguishes this measuring instrument from its competitors. Part around the clock of the analysis is a yellow substances (CDOM) measurement to adjust the calculation of Direct measurement the total chlorophyll and phycocyanin contents.

Individual flavours and odorous substances profiles for the different algal classes are created during the measurement. The algal by phycocyanin measurements content is determined by evaluating the chlorophyll fluorescence in real time. Yellow substances measurement Without the necessity of using a laboratory, it is possible to completely analyse the and compensation of disturbances via UV-LED excitation occurrence and distribution of algae in different water bodies, if necessary at different depths. Up to 4 measurements per second PC software for data analysis Additionally, the PhycoProbe measures the amount of unbound phycocyanin (free PC) which reflects the release of blue-green algae contents like toxins as well as flavours and odorous substances. Interference from e.g. humic substances is compensated Reduces the number of microscopic laboratory analyses using the integrated yellow substances measurement.
