  • Page 46: Total Algae

    Calibration Total Algae The Total Algae (TAL) sensors are dual-channel fluorescence sensors. The channels on the TAL-PC sensor refer to two independent data sets: one results from a blue excitation beam that excites the chlorophyll a (chl) molecule and the second results from an orange excitation beam that excites the phycocyanin (PC) accessory pigment. The TAL-PE sensor is similar, also having the chlorophyll channel, but rather than an orange excitation beam there is a slightly blue- shifted beam that excites phycoerythrin (PE), rather than PC.
  • Page 47 Calibration Number of Calibration Points A 1- or 2-point calibration can be completed for all channels on the TAL-PC and TAL-PE sensors. A 1-point calibration, typically completed in clear deionized or distilled water, is simply a re-zeroing of the sensor. Although a 1-point calibration is more convenient (faster and no Rhodamine WT solution is needed), a 1-point calibration does not reset the second point entered during the most recent 2-point calibration.
  • Page 48 Calibration Rhodamine WT Dye Solution Preparation Rhodamine WT dye solution must be used when completing a 2-point calibration. Purchase Rhodamine WT as a 2.5% solution to follow the procedure below. Note that there are many types of Rhodamine—make sure Rhodamine WT is selected.

  • Page 50 Calibration PE, PC and Chlorophyll Calibration 1- or 2-Point NOTE: The sensor guard must be installed and the calibration cup must be used during calibration. NOTE: Each channel of the sensor must be calibrated independently. Calibration of the chlorophyll channel does not set the calibration for the PC channel or the PE channel.
  • Page 51 Calibration 8. Rinse the sensors, calibration cup, and sensor guard 2-3 times with a small amount of standard #2. Discard the standard after each rinse. Blot the sensor dry with a lint-free cloth. NOTE: For standard #2, use the 0.625 mg/L Rhodamine WT solution when calibrating chlorophyll (RFU or µg/L) on either TAL sensor, or when completing a PC (RFU or µg/L) calibration on a TAL-PC sensor.

  • Page 52: Ises: Ammonium, Nitrate, & Chloride

    Calibration ISEs: Ammonium, Nitrate, & Chloride Before performing the calibration, review “Calibration setup (pH, ORP, ISE, conductivity, turbidity, and total algae sensors)” on page The ISE sensors can be calibrated to one, two or three points. A 2-point calibration without chilling a third calibration solution is extremely accurate and is the preferred method.
  • Page 53 Calibration ISE Calibration 3-Point 1. Perform the “Calibration setup (pH, ORP, ISE, conductivity, turbidity, and total algae sensors)” on page 33. Rinse the sensor 2-3 times with a small amount of standard #1. NOTE: It is best to calibrate in order of increasing concentration (e.g.
  • Page 54 Calibration Chilled Third Calibration Point The 3-point calibration method assures maximum accuracy when the temperature of the media to be monitored cannot be anticipated. If you must perform a chilled 3-point calibration, the following procedure requires one portion of the high concentration calibration solution and two portions of the low concentration calibration solution. The high concentration solution and one of the low concentration solutions should be at ambient temperature.
  • Page 55 Calibration Preparing Chloride Standards The following recipes are provided for preparation of 10 and 1000 mg/L chloride reagents. Nitrate and Ammonium standards can be purchased from YSI or other laboratory supply companies. WARNING: Some of the chemicals required for these solutions could be hazardous under some conditions.
