Abstract
The disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatuses for monitoring fluorescent peaks using a fluorometer, where the fluorometer comprises an instrument assembly, a circuit assembly, a casing, and a window set into the casing, wherein at least a portion of the instrument assembly is submerged within a liquid and above an analyte workspace; a buoy assembly; one or more emission sources electrically coupled to the circuit assembly, the emission sources configured to emit light in one or more frequencies or wavelength bands; a prism arranged in contact with the window, the prism configured to direct emissions from the emission sources towards the analyte workspace, the prism including at least one angled surface; at least one photosensor positioned above the window and configured to detect fluorescence emissions of analytes in the analyte workspace; and a filter array positioned between the window and the photosensor.
