Model Minos CTD -Ideal For Salinity Profiles From Small Launches

With 25Hz sampling and rapid sensor response times, the Minos CTD provides high resolution data even in high-speed applications. Matched sensor response times eliminate the need for post processing of data. No pumps are required. The Minos CTD can be equipped with up to 2 analog or 1 digital channels to allow integration of additional sensors.
