About

The 2D Profiler System - MP8 is a motorized microprofiler developed in cooperation with Unisense for 2D mapping of microgradients in marine and freshwater sediments. The system features the MP8 control unit and supports up to 8 sensors (e.g., O₂, pH, H₂S, N₂O, H₂, redox, resistivity). The profiler allows automatic horizontal and vertical movements with programmable paths, making it suitable for studying complex benthic processes. The robust stainless steel construction allows deployment down to 300 m, while a deep-sea variant can operate to 6000 m for ROV-mounted applications. The system can be configured with a Field DataLogger for synchronization with external sensors such as CTDs, light sensors, and optodes. Its modular architecture also enables use for incubation and time-series experiments.
