Our cyanobacteria sensor lineup adopts phycocyanin‑targeted fluorescence optics to specifically quantify blue‑green algae abundance, distinguishing toxic cyanobacterial colonies from ordinary green algae captured by general chlorophyll‑a instruments. Reagent‑free in‑situ measurement removes lab‑sample bottlenecks and delivers continuous cell‑density readings for toxic‑bloom risk alert ahead of visible scum formation.
Equipped with integrated self‑cleaning optical wiper hardware, these probes mitigate biofilm accretion over the sapphire lens, lengthening onsite service cycles and lowering routine maintenance burdens. Optimised optical filtering suppresses cross‑interference from surrounding suspended particles and coloured organics, securing trustworthy cell‑count outputs even within nutrient‑rich eutrophic water bodies. Real‑time density shifts offer early hints of potential cyanotoxin release risk.
Deployed for reservoir intake zones, inland lakes, drinking‑water source protection and ecological river observation, these probes feed persistent cyanobacteria datasets into customised water‑monitoring solutions. Operators utilise long‑term trending records to guide water‑body regulation, support risk‑based water safety assessment and generate traceable archives for environmental governance review.
