BioBlock Anti-fouling Shutter Available

***  New, longer life battery pack that powers LISST-25X and BioBlock for up to 6 months is now available, please contact us ***    (POSTED 20 SEPTEMBER, 2005)

A motorized twin-shutter anti-fouling device is available for use on our LISST series instruments. The device, BioBlock, is comprised of a small housing containing the electronics, battery, and driver motor. A sliding shutter is driven by the motor. The shutter covers the transmit and receive glass windows when data is not being taken.

The digital command (logic pin raised high) for operating the shutter is originates within the LISST-100 or LISST-25X instruments. This implies that the software on these instruments is updated when BioBlock is installed. The shutter is activated to cover the windows only if the time between samples is sufficiently long.
