Blue-green algae sensors for high-precision water quality monitoring are for sale. Employing a highly sensitive fluorescence measurement principle, they feature an ultra-wide range of 0~300,000 cells/ml and a fine resolution of 1 cell/ml. The water quality sensor delivers linear performance with R² > 0.999, features IP68 protection and a corrosion-resistant housing, and supports RS485/Modbus-RTU protocols for seamless integration into various monitoring systems.
Submersible Installation: Features NPT 3/4" threads compatible with our waterproof tubing. Route the cable through the tubing and screw the device into the waterproof tube's threads.
Note:
The blue-green algae sensor primarily measures based on the fluorescence properties of chlorophyll and phycocyanin. When light of specific wavelengths illuminates the water body, blue-green algae cells emit a fluorescent signal. The sensor evaluates algae concentration by detecting the intensity of this signal. This technology requires no reagents, offers rapid response, and enables continuous online monitoring, making it highly suitable for cyanobacteria early warning in lakes, reservoirs, drinking water sources, and aquaculture ponds.
Most blue-green algae sensors are suitable for various water bodies, including freshwater, surface water, aquaculture water, wastewater treatment pretreatment stages, and certain seawater environments. However, excessively high turbidity or suspended particulate matter may impair fluorescence detection. For highly polluted or extreme water conditions, pairing with a pretreatment system is recommended to ensure data accuracy. Prior to use, verify that the device materials meet corrosion resistance requirements.
Blue-green algae sensors typically employ RS485 (Modbus-RTU) output, enabling seamless integration with PLCs, RTUs, water quality monitoring stations, and IoT platforms. Through standard communication protocols, users can access real-time parameters such as cyanobacteria concentration and temperature, supporting remote monitoring and data storage. Some devices also support 4–20mA or wireless transmission, offering excellent scalability for applications like water source early warning systems, environmental monitoring, and smart water management systems.
