Model SAMI-pH - Ocean pH Sensor
Measures pHT (total hydrogen scale) in the marine pH range of 7-9, Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method, System does not suffer from the drift that plagues most electrode based pH probes, Designed to provide researchers with valuable in-situ time series data at depths up to 600 meters, 234-day deployment capability (hourly measurements, 25C), Extra battery package allows the SAMI-pH to run for more than a year, Can support up to 3 external instruments (e.g., PAR, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorometer, CTD), Supports Seabird underwater inductive modems or external loggers via RS-232
Model iSAMI-pH - Inexpensive Ocean pH Sensor for Surface Applications
The iSAMI-pH is based on the same technology as the larger, more expensive SAMI-pH, but is meant for use at the surface, for use on buoys, drifters, etc. Measures pHT (total hydrogen scale) in the marine pH range of 7-9, Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method, System does not suffer from the drift that plagues most electrode based pH probes, Designed to provide researchers with valuable in-situ time series data near the surface - depths to 3 m., 160-day deployment capability (hourly measurements, 25C), External battery package available, or power from buoy, drifter.
Model pSAMI-pH - Ocean pH Sensor for Moderate Depth Applications
The πSAMI-pH is based on the same technology as the larger, more expensive SAMI-pH, but is designed for use to 100 m.Measures pHT (total hydrogen scale) in the marine pH range of 7-9, Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method, System does not suffer from the drift that plagues most electrode based pH probes, Designed to provide researchers with valuable in-situ time series data near the surface - depths to 100 m. 160-day deployment capability (hourly measurements, 25C), Internal battery or power from buoy, drifter.
Model AFT-CO2 - Autonomous Flow Through Instrument
The Autonomous Flow Through Instrument CO2 (AFT-CO2) has the following characteristics: Measures the partial pressure of CO2in water (pCO2- wet) from 150-700 μatm (other ranges available by request), Based on the same technology as the SAMI-CO2, Packaged to be plumbed into a sample line on a research vessel, Once programmed and launched, the AFT-CO2 can run autonomously or while connected to a PC if real-time data is required, Logs own data, Can be configured to support other external instruments if required, Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method, Calibrated against a NIST-traceable NDIR system, Accurate +/- 3 μatm, >Designed to provide researchers with valuable data during research cruises with minimal oversight.
