FAQS
Yosemitech Blue Green Algae Sensor

Yosemitech offers two types of Blue Green Algae Sensors: Y513-A Online Blue Green Algae Sensor and Y613-A Self-cleaning Blue Green Algae Sensor. Choose from the Online Blue Green Algae Sensor, perfect for continuous, accurate monitoring in diverse water environments, or the Self-cleaning Blue Green Algae Sensor, featuring an automatic cleaning system that minimizes maintenance and ensures uninterrupted performance. Both sensors adopt advanced fluorescence technology to detect blue-green algae with precision, making them indispensable tools for environmental monitoring, aquaculture, and scientific research.


Importance of Monitoring Blue-green Algae

1. Public Health Risk:

Some species of blue-green algae produce toxins that can be harmful or even fatal to humans and animals. Monitoring helps in protecting public health by providing timely information about water quality in recreational areas.

2. Ecological Balance:

Monitoring these organisms is vital for maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems. Algal blooms can deplete oxygen levels in water, create dead zones, and disrupt the food chain.

3. Economic Implications:

Algal blooms can impact industries such as fishing, tourism, and water supply. Monitoring helps communities plan and mitigate any potential economic losses.
