nanoFlu fluorometers are low-priced, submersible miniaturized fluorometers for highly precise and selective measurement of CDOM (colored dissolved organic matter, yellow substances), chlorophyll a or phycocyanin in cyanobacteria. Long-term stability of measurements is ensured by the combination of low power consumption and innovative coating of the optical window, as an energy efficient and environmentally friendly anti-fouling solution. The devices can be used in diverse applications for the monitoring of sea and river waters, as well as in drinking- and wastewater treatment systems. Internal reference signals of the high performance LEDs used for fluorescence excitation compensate aging effects and temperature influences.
