A Microprocessor-Controlled, Multichannel Fluorimeter for Analysis of Sea Water.

Abstract

The multichannel fluorimeter described provides good sensitivity and rapid data acquisition. The advantages of multichannel fluorescence detection are discussed with special reference to the continuous monitoring of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence in sea waters. Experiments on chlorophyll a determinations indicate a detection limit of 5 times 10 to the minus 12th power M with a linear range over at least three orders of magnitudes of concentration. Keywords include: Fluorescence, Fluorescence Spectrometer, Oceanography, Portable Instrumentation, Diode Array Detection, Marine Analysis, Chlorophyll Analysis.
