SAMI-CAGE-1394

SAMI-CO2

The SAMI-CO2 measures the partial pressure of CO2 in water (pCO2) from 150-700 μatm (other ranges available by request) using a highly precise and stable colorimetric reagent method. It is designed to provide researchers with valuable in-situ time series data at depths up to 600 m. The SAMI-CO2 can run for over a year taking hourly measurements.

The SAMI-CO2 can support up to 3 external instruments such as PAR, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorometer, or CTD and can support inductive modems or external loggers if required.
