At Sea-Bird Scientific, we understand that access to high-quality data is essential for understanding and protecting aquatic ecosystems. We’ve heard from researchers, program managers, and field technicians alike: cost is often a barrier. That’s why we’re taking bold steps to better support the marine research community – with permanent price reductions on the instruments listed below.

SUNA V2 – Nitrate Sensor

The SUNA V2 is the ultimate solution for real-time nitrate monitoring in a wide range of environments—from deep-ocean nitraclines to storm runoff in rivers and streams. It’s built on the proven MBARI-ISUS UV absorption technology, delivering industry-leading accuracy and stability even in challenging conditions like high turbidity and elevated CDOM.

Applications:

• Nutrient Monitoring
• Aquaculture
• Coral Reef Research
• Stormwater Runoff Monitoring
• Coastal and Ocean Ecosystems

SeaOWL UV-A™ – Sea Oil in Water Locator

The SeaOWL UV-A™ is our next-generation oil-in-water sensor, ideal for monitoring leaks, conducting baseline assessments, or responding to spills. Designed for offshore and coastal monitoring, it delivers clarity, precision, and durability in dynamic marine environments. 

Did you know that pairing the SeaOWL UV-A™ with the SBE 19plus V2 SeaCAT Profiler CTD unlocks even greater insight into offshore environmental conditions? Learn what makes this a powerful combination.

Applications:

• Oil Spill Monitoring
• Freshwater Monitoring
• Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)

UBAT – Underwater Bioluminescence Assessment Tool

The UBAT makes it easier for researchers to explore the dynamic role of bioluminescence in coastal and ocean ecosystems. The UBAT is designed to measure mechanically stimulated bioluminescence with high resolution and precision, providing critical insight into the spatial and temporal complexity of marine environments. Whether you’re studying predator-prey interactions, plankton dynamics, or ecosystem health, UBAT delivers calibrated, reliable data – now at a more accessible price. 

Applications:

• Water Visibility Research
• Bioluminescence Research
• Coastal and Ocean Ecosystems
