ECO Triplet-W Optical Sensor

 

The Sea-Bird Coastal Triplet with technology by WET Labs is designed to provide a variety of optical parameters in a single instrument.

 

 

 

 

The ECO Triplet custom optical instrument is now available with active anti-biofouling. It features an evolutionary design that builds off the bio-wiper and faceplate available on the current ECO line. The optics of the ECO Triplet-w are arranged on a circumference on the face of the instrument. A copper faceplate covers all but the optics, and a central pivot three-armed copper and neoprene wiper clears the optics prior to sampling. The wiper and shaft assembly is oil filled, reducing the need for returning the instrument for shaft seal replacement.

The ECO Triplet-w is configured for:

 

•  Biogeochemical Measurements: chlorophyll and CDOM fluorescence and red backscattering

•  Remote Sensing and Particle Dynamics Measurements: blue, green and red backscattering

Triplet-w:

• Addresses the need for multiple simultaneous scattering and fluorescence sensors for autonomous and unattended measurement platforms.

• Performs a free space measurement and requires no pump. It accommodates a variety of deployment options.

• Provides excellent precision, reliability, and overall performance at a fraction of the cost and size of similar instruments.

• Ships with ECOView host software for communication and configuration.

• Provides multiple measurements in a compact design, making the ECO Triplet unique among in-situ fluorometers.
