In this research is designing and manufacture Phytoplankton concentration measurements in liquid medium based on arduino microcontroller. The design works with by exploiting fluorescence phenomenon, by using Purple Light Emitting Diode (λ = 405 nm, P = 10 mW, frequency modulation 625 Hz) as a light source absorbed by phytoplankton, mesuring vessel, optical filters, and photodiodes. Data obtained of the photodiode sensor is then conducted data acquisition by arduino, the quantitiy of phytoplankton concentration will be displayed on the lcd. From testing to Phytopathton for the concentration range it was found that for the concentration range 102 - 106 cells / ml obtained a consistent relationship the intensity of fluorescence with the increase in cell concentration. Gradients obtained for high range concentration with R2 = 0.9632 lower than the low range concentration with R2 = 0.9642.
