LITTLE DIPPER 2™ IN-LINE FLUOROMETER

OVERVIEW

The Little Dipper™ 2 is an accurate, single-channel, light industrial fluorometer which installs directly into industrial process streams. It provides a 4 – 20 mA signal output proportional to the concentration of the fluorophore being measured. The Little Dipper 2 is a rugged, 24/7 sampling device that provides maximum performance, minimal maintenance, and solid state reliability. It can be used with data collection systems to monitor and control the level of treatment chemicals for industrial applications.
