Optical Nitrate Sensor

Hach s nitratax sc family includes digital optical probes for the high precision determination of nitrate concentration directly in the medium.

Optical nitrate sensor.

The uv approach offers several advantages compared to wet chemical nitrate sensors and ion selective electrodes table 1. Suna provides real time chemical free nitrate calculations in coastal and freshwater environments using satlantic s advanced uv absorption technology. The sensor is complemented by newly developed windows and mac based software for easy set up integration and in field. The nitravis probe scans 256 wavelengths per measurement between 200 and 720 nm to provide the most accurate nitrate and tss measurements with precise compensation for interferences such as turbidity.

With recent advances in uv led technology ysi has produced an optical nitrate sensor in a compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. Now licensed and marketed by sea bird scientific the uv absorption deconvolution method is the technology behind the suna optical nitrate sensor allowing researchers and managers to get reliable nitrate concentration measurements without the limitations of traditional wet chemistry. This enables the sensor to fit in the existing exo bulkhead without need for any modification. All exo probe guards and flow cells still work with exo nitraled.

The nitravis is a reagentless optical based spectrophotometer built into a rugged corrosion resistant field probe for the iq sensornet system. Nitrate at a specific wavelength is measured by a photometer and converted to a nitrate concentration.
