Turner Designs offers a corrosion-resistant plastic housing for their C-7 Submersible Fluorometer. The plastic housing is designed for long term deployments or environments that may degrade or corrode stainless steel sensors.
The new plastic body offers the an attractive option in corrosion-resistant material without incurring the higher costs of titanium housings. The plastic C-7 is available with either standard connectors or, for greater corrosion resistance, titanium connectors. The plastic C-7 is available in all the same optical configurations - Chlorophyll, Rhodamine WT dye, Fluorescein dye, Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, CDOM, Optical Brighteners, Crude Oil, Refined Fuels, and even Turbidity.
