Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Tests VEMCO's New pH Transmitter
VEMCO, working with a team of researchers at the University of Hawaii, has successfully integrated a pH sensor produced by Earth & Ocean Technologies of Kiel, Germany, into a VEMCO continuous 2-channel sensor transmitter. The transmitter, which also contains a temperature sensor, can be detected and recorded by VEMCO's VR100 tracking receiver. The prototype units can also be modified to be a coded tag detectable by VEMCO's VR2 and VR3 receivers.
