Cautions

SeaFET has sensitive components that can be damaged by improper storage and handling SEAWATER ONLY! When the SeaFET is not in service, the wet cap must be in place and filled with clean seawater – immersing the sensing elements in fresh water can lead to sensor instability and damage Do not allow the DuraFET KCl gel or the wet cap filling solution to freeze during shipping or deployment Never let the sensing elements dry out – if the SeaFET is to not to be redeployed immediately, put the wet cap in place and fill it with artificial sea water The ISFET is light sensitive and will produce a voltage offset if illuminated – if the SeaFET is deployed with the flow cell, the flow cell should be shaded (e.g. using tape) Always rinse SeaFET with sterile artificial sea water prior to storage Do not leave SeaFET in direct sunlight on deck when it is not being used. Direct sunlight can damage SeaFET by overheating it
