Partnering to Solve the World’s Most Challenging Water Problems
March 10, 2021
Precision Measurement Engineering is proud to partner with Turner Designs in unveiling the C-FLUOR, the latest line of fluorescence and turbidity water monitoring probes. The C-FLUOR Logger powers and logs the data output from the Turner Designs C-FLUOR Sensor. The C-FLUOR Logger is faster at taking measurements and more energy efficient than its previous iteration, PME’s Cyclops-7 Logger. Our C-FLUOR’s single sensor interchangeable design offers a cost effective and reliable platform for your aquatic research.
Though similar in appearance to the Cyclops-7, the C-FLUOR’s lower power consumption and faster response times allow for significantly longer deployment times and the ability to log measurements in quicker succession. However, unlike the Cyclops-7, the C-FLUOR arrives pre-calibrated and ready for deployment. See tables below for full comparison of the two products.

Additional Product Features
An optional anti-fouling wiper is available to combat the accretion of biofouling on the face of the sensor, keeping measurements precise and reliable over the entire time of deployment.
With field replaceable batteries, factory calibrated sensors, and on-board plug and play software, the C-FLUOR is user-friendly while maintaining sensitive and reliable measurements.
