Instrument: Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer
The TD-700 Laboratory Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer designed to detect fluorescence over the UV to red range. The instrument can measure concentrations of a variety of compounds, including chlorophyll-a and fluorescent dyes, and is thus suitable for a range of applications, including chlorophyll, water quality monitoring and fluorescent tracer studies. Data can be output as concentrations or raw fluorescence measurements.
Fluorescence was measured on a TD-700 fluorometer (Turner Designs) calibrated with fresh chlorophyll standard from Anacystis nidulans (Sigma).
