Questions & Answers
Can I change out my optical sensors?
No, the C3 Fluorometer offers 1, 2, or 3 factory-installed sensors of your choice, but they cannot be switched or added once installed.
Does the C3 Fluorometer include a battery?
No, the C3 Fluorometer does not include a battery. However, an external lithium battery pack is available for unattended use of the device.
How many uses will one battery charge allow?
The optional lithium battery pack is rated for 10,000 data lines per charge. The battery requires 8 hours to fully charge.
Are any of the Cyclops-7 sensors compatible with the C3?
No, all optical sensor options must be ordered with the C3 for factory integration
Does the pressure sensor use up one of the optical ports?
No, the pressure sensor and mechanical wiper are installed separately during the unit's manufacturing, and they do not interfere with the number of optical ports chosen.
What is the detection limit for the Rhodamine sensor?
The optional Rhodamine optical sensor has a minimum detection limit of 0.01 ppb and a dynamic range of 0-1000 ppb.

Stone Lab: Cyanobacteria Monitoring in Ohio Lakes

Microcystin, one of several toxins produced by the cyanobacteria that form harmful algal blooms (HABs), has become a popular topic of lake research as the human health impacts of HABs become better understood. Stone Lab is one of the leading groups in algal bloom research on Lake Erie and other lakes in Ohio. For more than 100 years, Stone Lab has conducted biology research and provided science education and outreach to the region. Over the years, thousands of individuals of varying ages have learned from the resources Stone Lab provides. Stone Lab’s Research Coordinator and Senior Researcher, Justin Chaffin, learned of Stone Lab while an undergraduate student at Bowling Green State University Fireland Campus.

From Assessment to Angler: Continual Research Ensures Lake Erie Remains a Beacon of Freshwater Fishing

Lake Erie is well known for its abundant recreational fishing. Anglers come from across the country to try their luck at the “walleye capital of the world” and search for other freshwater species, such as bass, perch, and steelhead trout.  As one of the world’s largest freshwater fisheries, much effort is made behind the scenes to maintain fishing opportunities for visitors to enjoy year after year, efforts that often go unnoticed by the public. One of the lake's most important economic and tourism centers is the city of Sandusky, home to the Sandusky Fisheries Research Station . As part of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the unit serves as a base for assessing fish populations and managing harvest with partner agencies from around Lake Erie.

High Definition Stream Surveys: Informed Management in Local Waterways

When it comes to environmental monitoring, new stream survey methodologies have revealed a great deal about water quality and streambed conditions over time. Such information can be particularly important in leading restoration initiatives and prioritizing management decisions. Historically, stream surveys have been conducted at a single point along the stream, with data then extrapolated for miles up and downstream. However, Brett Connell, Hydrologist and Director of Sales at Trutta Environmental Solutions, started developing a more intensive stream survey format in his master's program in 2010 at the University of Tennessee.
