The RBRtridente is setting a new benchmark in oceanographic optical sensing. This three-channel fluorescence and backscatter sensor offers sampling rates up to 32Hz, extended wavelength options, ultra-low power consumption, and advanced electronics — all within a rugged titanium housing rated to 6000m. Easily integrates into any RBR multi-parameter instrument or use the 1250m-rated dry-bay OEM version for simple vehicle integration.

Why choose the RBRtridente?

Measure More

  • Available wavelengths:
    • chlorophyll a
    • fDOM
    • phycocyanin
    • phycoerythrin
    • rhodamine
    • fluorescein
    • backscatter
    • turbidity

Measure Faster

  • All channels max. 32Hz

Measure Longer

  • Up to 95% less power consumption than its competitors

Measure Smarter

  • Titanium body prevents corrosion
  • Sapphire windows transmit UV without fluorescing
  • Reference photo diode tracks any change in power over time
  • Full temperature compensation across operating conditions
  • LED filter to isolate excitation wavelengths of interest
  • Detector filters customised to reject out-of-band wavelengths
  • Ambient light monitoring removes any contamination from measurement

Whether you are integrating it into an RBR multi-parameter instrument, your own data logger, or an underwater vehicle, measure smarter with the RBRtridente.
