Biofouling begins within hours of deployment. Even a thin biofilm can shift spectral data, attenuate signal, and ruin long-term deployments.
Continuous, Clear, Maintenance-Free Deployment
The proof after a one-year continuous deployment without manual cleaning or maintenance:
BioCLEAR Protected Areas (Green Boxes)
Complete Optical Clarity: The sensor windows and apertures protected by the BioCLEAR UV-C system remain entirely free of macro-fouling.
Pristine Surfaces: The clear and Teflon surfaces show no signs of biofilm accumulation, algae, or barnacle attachment.
Data Integrity: From an instrumentation perspective, these sensors are capable of delivering accurate, unattenuated optical data despite a year of submersion.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Integrated Array Geometry: Low-profile ring design that mounts directly to Biospherical and other environmental sensing instruments without obstructing the field of view.
-
Standalone Power: Included power source allows for retrofit to sensor platforms without consuming limited power for instrument arrays.
-
Non-Toxic & Non-Mechanical: No copper leaching, no toxic coatings, and no moving parts (wipers) that can fail or scratch delicate optical glass.
-
Solid-State Reliability: Utilizing state-of-the-art UV-C LEDs for consistent irradiance and high shock/vibration resistance.
