AquaPen AP-110 Handheld PAM Fluorometer

AquaPen AP-110 is a lightweight, handheld PAM fluorometer that is very convenient for fast, reliable, and easily repeatable measurements of photosynthetic parameters in both algal and cyanobacterial suspensions.

AquaPen is available in two versions:
AquaPen AP-110-C is a cuvette version of the AquaPen fluorometer and contains a built-in turbidometer to measure optical density.
AquaPen AP-110-P is a probe version of AquaPen, which allows the same measurements of chlorophyll fl uorescence in suspension by placing the probe directly in the suspension medium.

AquaPen-C is equipped with optically filtered and precisely focused blue and red LED emitters to deliver light intensities of up to 3,000 µmol.m-2.s-1 to metered suspensions. Blue excitation light (455 nm) is intended for the excitation of chlorophyll, that is, to measure the fluorescence of chlorophyll in algal cultures. Red-orange excitation light (620 nm) is intended for excitation through phycobilins and is suitable for measurement in cultures of cyanobacteria.

AquaPen-P is equipped with a single blue LED emitter (optionally red or white).

The measured data is stored sequentially in the internal memory of the FluorPen. Data transfer is done via USB or Bluetooth communication. The complete FluorPen 1.1 software provides data transfer routines and many additional functions for presenting data in tables and graphs.

Thanks to its ultra-high sensitivity (up to 0.5 µg Chl / l), the AquaPen AP 110-C can measure natural water samples that contain very low concentrations of phytoplankton.

AquaPen-C AP 110-C is a cuvette version of the AquaPen fluorometer and contains an inbuild turbidometer for measurement of optical density.

AquaPen-P AP 110-P is a probe version of AquaPen, which allows the same measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence in suspension by directly placing the probe in the suspension medium.
