Why choose AML for scientific applications...

We know that you’ve got high expectations surrounding the kit that enables your mission - no compromises! Luckily, AML has over 50 years of history manufacturing conductivity sensors, with thousands delivered to customers worldwide. Like Seabird and RBR, our high-accuracy sensors are calibrated against a laboratory reference ensuring precise data performance. Our 4 electrode-conductive conductivity cell is a stable, mature technology that has been repeatedly tested against SeaBird CTDs, operating to identical levels of in-field performance. Our conductivity sensors come in two different accuracies: Standard (C:±0.01 mS/cm, T: 0.005 °C) and Scientific (C:0.003 mS/cm, T: 0.002 °C). Additionally, our UV Biofouling solution is the only non-toxic, non-contact biofouling solution of its kind in the market. Acting as a preventative measure to avoid sensor drift amidst long-term deployments, our Streetlamp UV and Cabled UV enable improved in-field, real-world performance.

Unique features of the AML solution:

  • AML offers the largest ecosystem of end-cap sensor heads available in the oceanographic market.
  • AML’s environmentally friendly bio-fouling control (no TBT!) minimizes in-field maintenance cycles and saves money.
  • The same biofouling control technology - based on UV light - ensures maximum data accuracy for in-field usage.
  • AML offers the fastest delivery time in the market for CTD and multiparameter instruments. Our modular approach to sensor-heads allows us to deliver what you need, fast!
