Copper protection for MX2501
The copper protection MX2500-GUARD is a device added to standard electrode shield for protect the'pH and temperature recorder MX2501 against'biological soiling or biofoulding when deployed in the'water.
Copper is used to reduce biofouling by interacting with water chemistry and producing a patina who has antibacterial properties and antifungal agents to prevent the growth of harmful organisms and to keep the sensor clean and efficient.
Copper protection MX2500-GUARD is one protective device additional which can be used in conjunction with the standard electrode shield to protect the MX2501 recorder from biological soiling while deployed in water.
THE'biological soiling, or biofouling, can be caused by organisms such as algae, bacteria and mussels that attach to surfaces and can cause problems such as disturbances in measurements and stopping time measurement records.
The copper is used in the protection MX2500-GUARD because it is effective in reducing biofouling while allowing a good water flow to the sensor.
When copper interacts with the water chemistry in which he is deployed, a reaction of'oxydo-reduction occurs, producing a patina.
The nature of this patina depends on the specific chemistry of the water, as well as factors such as depth, the temperature and other environmental conditions.
The copper patina that forms has properties antibacterial and antifungal agents which prevent growth of'harmful organisms, thus reducing biofouling and now the sensor clean and efficient.
Copper protection is therefore a effective solution to maintain the accuracy and reliability the MX2501 recorder when deployed in water environments where biofouling is a concern.
