Mini Micro Profilers

A novel portable instrument has been designed for in-situ microsensor measurements. The micro profiler, which can be equipped with microsensors for measurements of oxygen, pH, sulphide (S -- or H2S) and temperature, is ideal for a wide range of applications including:

  • Oxygen respiration.
  • Benthic primary production.
  • Quantification of sulphide oxidation and sulphate reduction by measurement with a sulphide (gas or ion) microsensor for use inbio-filmsand sediments.


Profiling measurements can be carried out with a spatial resolution of 50 µm in numerous locations including:

  • At the sediment-water interface (from tidal flats to 100 m water depth).
  • In bio-films, for studying the transformation of organic matter.
  • Under ice, for studying respiration and primary production of ice-algae.


Weight, in air: 10 kg
