AFT-CO2
The AFT-CO2 was designed for accurate, long term, low-power measurements of pCO2. Once programmed it can run independently until the user wants to download, or it can run attached to a laptop (or external data logger) for real time output.
- Measures the partial pressure of CO2in water (pCO2– wet) from 200-1000 μatm (other ranges available by request)
- Based on the same technology as the SAMI-CO2
- Packaged to be plumbed into a sample line on a research vessel
- Once programmed and launched, the AFT-CO2 can run autonomously or while connected to a PC if real-time data is required
- Logs own data
- Can be configured to support other external instruments if required
- Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method
- Calibrated against a NIST-traceable NDIR system
- Accurate +/- 5 μatm
- Designed to provide researchers with valuable data during research cruises with minimal oversight.
An easy to use, reliable pCO2 instrument for your bench or shipboard.
