Applied
Microsystems has a long track record of successfully
designing sensors and systems for high pressure,
high salinity, extreme temperatures, bio-fouling,
or even toxic environments.
For 28 years, we have
been designing instruments for use in deep
water. We have experience sending our instruments
to depths as great as 10000 metres – as
was the case with our heat flux probe off
the coast of Japan – and fully understand
the implications of high pressure on design.
Our sensors and instruments
are also designed to minimize corrosion
stemming for use in seawater. 26 years of
experience in this area means we have a
proven ability to design instruments for
high salinity environments. Moreover, we’ve
leveraged what we’ve learned to design sensors
capable of deployment in toxic environments
such as wastewater influent streams.
Biofouling is a critical
issue for instruments used to measure water
in the real world. Over the years we have
implemented prevention features such as
light shields, flashing ultraviolet light,
or anti-fouling insertions and coatings
to ensure that our instruments work effectively
in the field, with a minimum of down-time
and maintenance.
