Manta F35 Anti-fouling Multiparameter Probes

About Manta F35 Anti-fouling Multiparameter Probes

Solinst Eureka has fitted its highly successful Manta+35 Water-Quality Multiparameter probe with a copper-filled, silicone “nose cone” that covers all of the exposed sensors except the critical measurement surfaces.A central wiper keeps those measurement surfaces clean, meaning that you get better data and minimal clean-up.

Solinst Eureka’s Manta Multiparameter Water-Quality Multiprobes have been workhorses in the field for over 15 years. Their dependability, data integrity, and lifetime cost are the top in the professional class of multiprobes. But even with innovations like the central wiper and consumable copper-gauze kits, they could not completely conquer a multiprobe’s worst enemy: sensor fouling.

Until now. Gone are the days of measurement surfaces affected by foulants, and endlessly scraping algae, silt, and barnacles from the sensors. The problem is the algae, fungi, bacterial slimes, barnacles, silts, etc. encountered by your multiprobe during logging runs. Not only do they degrade data and increase maintenance, but they can ruin sensors. The solution requires sensors whose measurement surfaces are in the same plane, a wiper with the appropriate brush material, and an easily removed, disposable “nose cone” that covers the exposed sensor surfaces and uses copper to keep biota from attaching to the sensors.
