MS-310e Microsalinometer

The number of cycles of fills and flushes before a measurement is defined by the operator. For example, the MS-310e may be located next to a conductivity calibration bath and remotely instructed to draw a sample, flush, draw a sample, measure, and then wait a defined period and repeat the process. The remote control and automation eliminates the need to have a computer next to the MS-310 in situations where repetitive measurements are made and that means there is one less device in the lab where space can be a premium. Additionally TCP/IP sockets complement the graphical interface with both data output and a control channel using a simple command language, permitting complete integration into laboratory workflows.

The MS-310e provides oceanographers and researchers with a reliable shipboard and laboratory method to verify the performance of CTD instruments or to measure the salinity of a liquid. The microsalinometer operation is based on the dual-cell concept in which the conductivity of the sample of water is directly and simultaneously compared with the conductivity of standard seawater.
