This AML-6 is equipped with sound velocity, conductivity & temperature, pressure and dissolved oxygen sensors. A solution such as this one may be used to gather comprehensive data on physical and chemical properties of the water.
Why choose AML for scientific applications...
We know that you’ve got high expectations surrounding the kit that enables your mission - no compromises! Luckily, AML has over 50 years of history manufacturing conductivity sensors, with thousands delivered to customers worldwide. Like Seabird and RBR, our high-accuracy sensors are calibrated against a laboratory reference ensuring precise data performance. Our 4 electrode-conductive conductivity cell is a stable, mature technology that has been repeatedly tested against SeaBird CTDs, operating to identical levels of in-field performance. Our conductivity sensors come in two different accuracies: Standard (C:±0.01 mS/cm, T: 0.005 °C) and Scientific (C:0.003 mS/cm, T: 0.002 °C). Additionally, our UV Biofouling solution is the only non-toxic, non-contact biofouling solution of its kind in the market. Acting as a preventative measure to avoid sensor drift amidst long-term deployments, our Streetlamp UV and Cabled UV enable improved in-field, real-world performance.
Unique features of the AML solution:
- AML offers the largest ecosystem of end-cap sensor heads available in the oceanographic market.
- AML’s environmentally friendly bio-fouling control (no TBT!) minimizes in-field maintenance cycles and saves money.
- The same biofouling control technology - based on UV light - ensures maximum data accuracy for in-field usage.
- AML offers the fastest delivery time in the market for CTD and multiparameter instruments. Our modular approach to sensor-heads allows us to deliver what you need, fast!
