To support the increased demand in the US and confidence in our cutting-edge technology, we have committed to building another ten D10 three-channel DyeTectors to meet increasing customer needs. Steven Thrasher, Regional Director of Ashtead Technology in the US, shared his perspective on this exciting growth:

“At Ashtead Technology, we are dedicated to bringing the absolute best-in-class technical solutions to the market. Having a technology partner like OceanTools who develop reliable, user-friendly tools that outperform expectations is what enables us to achieve this goal.”

We are proud of the success of this collaboration and excited for what lies ahead as we continue to innovate and grow together.

Meet the D10 DyeTector – the next-generation, three-channel subsea dye detection system engineered for pinpoint accuracy and extreme sensitivity:

• Detects Rhodamine, Fluorescein and UV dyes

• Single device for all three dye types – no need to swap units

• High-intensity focused beam with precision filtering

• Photon-level sensitivity – ~100x more sensitive than the human eye

• Detects from several metres away – no direct contact needed

• Built from aviation-grade titanium and sapphire glass – rated to 4000m

• Compatible with C-Dye 530, C-Dye 370, and a wide range of industry dyes

With intuitive DyeTection software, real-time surface data, and advanced ambient light suppression, the D10 is the most capable and versatile dye detection tool on the subsea market today.
