RBR Launches New Three-channel Fluorescence and Backscatter Sensor

08.02.2023
RBR, a global leader in oceanographic instrumentation, recently announced the new RBRtridente three-channel fluorescence and backscatter sensor. This high-sensitivity optical sensor uses 95% less power than similar three-channel optical sensors and features active drift mitigation. This allows for longer deployments and long-term measurement stability.





"Our team was challenged to improve on existing designs to provide exceptional endurance over a broad range of deployment conditions," says RBR sensor manager, Jon Taylor. "The RBRtridente definitely has our core DNA, offering industry-leading performance with extremely low power consumption."

The sensor's standard configuration measures chlorophyll a, fluorescing dissolved organic matter (fDOM), and either backscatter or turbidity, but the platform can be built for a variety of parameters. Rated up to 6000m depth, the sensor streams calibrated data at rates up to 32Hz and can be powered with an input voltage range from 4.5V to 30V. It also features ambient light mitigation, permitting measurements in full sunlight, and automatic gain control for a larger dynamic range.

The RBRtridente is easily integrated into both RBR and third-party platforms, and like all RBR sensors and instruments, is fully compatible with RBR Ruskin software. It is also backed by the excellent support and service researchers and engineers have come to expect from RBR.
