Measuring Our Blue Planet for 50 Years

We create instruments to measure the blue planet. From the ocean abyss to the polar ice cap, our sensors track water parameters - temperature, depth, salinity, dissolved gases, pH, and many others.
RBRglissando profiling winch
The new RBRglissando underway profiling winch enables automated free-fall profiling with instrument payloads up to 20kg. A configurable line speed up to 10m/s allows for operation while steaming normally without slowing down.
We're turning 50 this year
We're proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary of providing oceanographic sensors, instruments, and measurement systems to researchers around the world. Now, we'd like to say thank you. Click to learn more and join the celebration.
Measuring ocean salinity
Salinity measurements are a fundamental part of oceanographic research, with broad implications ranging from algal blooms to the global climate. Dive into our new ocean salinity page to learn about this vital derived parameter, featuring conductivity sensors and CTDs, related technical articles, and more.
Twist to activate your logger and it will vibrate to let you know it's sampling. Then use the Ruskin app for iOS or Android to add GPS tracking, download data, display charts, and sync your dataset.
No waiting, no configuration – just attach a cable and start streaming data instantly, in real time. Parameters include temperature, depth, DO, and PAR.
Deploy, download, and display data from your logger and simulate deployments, all with a single piece of software. Now with GPS tagging!
RBR supports all instruments and software it manufactures, with first-line support available by phone or email.
