MIDAS CTD
The MIDAS CTD is Valeport's premier CTD profiler, designed for use as a self-recording system and featuring truly synchronised sampling to ensure that all sensors are sampled at exactly the same point during a profile. With low power draw and large memory capacity, it is ideal for longterm deployments.
The unit incorporates Valeport’s high stability conductivity sensor, a high accuracy temperature compensated piezoresistive pressure transducer, and a fast response PRT temperature sensor. It is housed in a robust titanium enclosure for reliable operation down to 6000 metres.
