The portable fluorimeter provides a cost effective solution to monitor the effects of organic pollution or identify potentially harmful cyanobacteria. AlgaeChek can be configured to detect either Chlorophyll-a, phycoerythrin or phycocyanin. Chlorophyll-a provides an indication of the algal biomass and is often used as an indicator water quality and nutrient pollutants. Phycoerythrin and phycocyanin are pigments found in marine and freshwater cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria produce toxins that can be harmful to human health or have significant environmental impact. If required the unit could be configured to detect turbidity or tracer dyes.
