AFT-pH

The Autonomous Flow Through Instrument pH (AFT-pH) has the following characteristics:

  • Measures pH in the 7-9 range (Salinity 25-40)
  • Designed to accurately measure pH of flowing seawater or individual samples
  • Based on the same technology as the SAMI-pH
  • Packaged to be plumbed into a sea line on a research vessel or can be used for bottle samples in the lab.
  • Once programmed and launched, the AFT-pH can run autonomously or while connected to a PC if real-time data is required
  • Logs own data
  • Can support other external instruments
  • Uses a highly accurate colorimetric reagent method
  • Accuracy and precision: +/- 0.003 pH units and < 0.001 pH units
  • Long term drift < 0.001 pH units over 6 months

An easy to use, reliable pH instrument for your bench or shipboard.
