Instrument: Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer

Instrument Short Name: TD-700
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0510/)
Instrument Description:

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.

Dataset-specific description

For analysis by fluorometry, samples are extracted in 90% acetone (24 h at -20° C) and chlorophyll measured in a TD-700 fluorometer (Turner) using the non-acidified approach (Welschmeyer, 1994)
