FLUOROMETER

The TriOS nanoFlu sensor is an online fluorescence sensor (fluorom-

eter) for precise and selective measurement of coloured dissolved

organic matter (CDOM, yellow substances), rhodamine, tryptophan

and chlorophyll A in green algae or phycocyanin in cyanobacteria.

It operates by emitting UV light at a set wavelength targeted for

specific waterborne flora and fauna. When present, these water

constituents will re-emit light at a different wavelength following the

excitation from the external light source. The nanoFlu monitors for

the presence or change in re-emitted light, which is calibrated to the

concentration of the known organic matter.

Long-term stability is ensured by the combination of low power

consumption, a hydrophobic nanocoating on the sensing window

and a chemical-free anti-fouling solution. Maintenance may also be

reduced with the incorporation of air cleaning of the sensing window

either from fixed compressed air lines or the standalone TriOS AirShot

accessory. Internal reference signals of the LEDs used for fluorescence

excitation compensate ageing effects and temperature influences.

The submersible nanoFlu can be used in a range of applications

including the real-time monitoring of sea, river or freshwater reservoir

systems; incoming/outgoing flow at drinking and wastewater treat-

ment plants; and to detect potential filter membrane leaks during

rhodamine testing.

Mounting alternatives include inline fittings, flowcell, small sensor

floats and unmanned buoys. Mobile lab staff can couple the nanoFlu

with a TriOS Pocket Power G2, which provides battery power, Wi-Fi

connectivity to the sensor and GPS logging for instantaneous indica-

tion and accurate geographical location.

INTELLIGENT POWER SOLUTIONS

MFB has further enhanced its range of Sentinel IP-addressable, rack-

mountable power products with upgraded software and hardware

components to ensure faster and smarter performance from the

entire range including its custom-made solutions.

Available with either Australian or IEC outlets, these power boards

have the ability to view power, temperature and humidity levels via

a web browser or receive SNMP-based alarms when conditions

exceed defined thresholds. User-defined outlet control access can

be managed by the administrator with the ability to reboot attached

appliances in a controlled timed sequence. It also offers the ability

to customise the outlet layout and switching configuration.
