WiMo Phyco-C | Phycocyanin

The WiMo Phycocyanin sensor is compatible with the WiMo and WiMo Plus range of probes.

It is a Fluorescence sensor that allows to detect and monitor cyanobacteria levels exclusively in freshwater. It is usually associated with harmful algal blooms. Coupled with the chlorophyll a sensor it helps to determine the toxicity levels in a water body and gives a more accurate estimate of the total biomass than the one estimated with only the chlorophyll a measurement.

This is because the excitation wavelength used causes a transfer of energy from phycocyanin to chlorophyll A.
