LabSTAF HB
LabSTAF HB is the high-biomass iteration of LabSTAF, our next-generation, intuitive Single Turnover Active Fluorometry (STAF) based system for evaluating phytoplankton primary productivity (PhytoPP).
How it works
With a high dynamic range, LabSTAF HB allows for measurements from extreme oligotrophic to mesotrophic, and even some eutrophic conditions. Using Single Turnover Active Fluorescence (STAF) to measure variable fluorescence of living phytoplankton cells enables the evaluation of primary productivity of phytoplankton (PhytoPP).
Where it works
LabSTAF HB is designed to enable and sustain high biomass applications such as industrial algae production. Understanding the scale and health of phytoplankton requires accurate and efficient in-situ sampling and measurement to optimise harvest, gauge culture performance, early identification of contamination, and monitor pond cultures.

LabSTAF HB Features
Optimised sample chamber
Temperature control. Rapid screening of multiple samples.
Wavebands that deliver
Dual Waveband Measurement (DWM). LED wavebands generate Photochemical Excitation Profile (PEP).
High sensitivity, low error rates
Measurement under oligotrophic conditions. Correction for baseline fluorescence.
Real time data and enhanced export
Real time data. Extract data from a single file or across multiple files. Ideal for deployment on research vessels and outdoor locations.
