Overview
The EXO Rhodamine sensor is commonly selected for dye tracer studies due to its ease of use, low adsorptive tendency, strong fluorescence, and negligible environmental impact. Offering the widest detection range with the most sensitive detection limit, the EXO Rhodamine sensor is ideal for monitoring the movement of water as well as dispersion and mixing characteristics.
Applications
- Time-of-travel (TOT) studies
- Hydraulic characterization
- Mixing zone identification
- Pollution plume tracing
- Spill mapping
Capabilities
- Range: 0 to 1,000 µg/L or 0 to 100 RFU
- Resolution: 0.01 µg/L or 0.01 RFU
- Accuracy: +/- 5% or 0.1 µg/L w.i.g

Using Data Buoys to Track Sharks in Cape Cod
Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
