Blue-Green Algae (BGA), also known as cyanobacteria, can exhibit a range of colors such as blues, greens, reds and black.
This sensor is only for use with:
Sper Scientific 870001 Multi-Parameter Water Quality Analyzer
The Blue-Green Algae Sensor is designed to detect and monitor this type of algae in bodies of water. This is crucial as Blue-green algae are capable of reducing nitrogen and carbon levels, but can also cause a decrease in dissolved oxygen when they become too abundant. Its ability to produce toxins and create algal blooms also pose a serious threat to water quality, ecosystem stability, and public health, making the monitoring of Blue-green algae vital.
The sensor utilizes the specific absorption and emission peaks in the spectrum of Blue-green algae, and the emitted light intensity is directly proportional to the algae concentration in water. With easy installation and operation, the Blue-green algae sensor is ideal for monitoring water stations, surface waters, and other applications.
