Master your Oxygen!
\nTecSense uses opto-chemical sensor technology to determine gaseous and dissolved Oxygen concentrations in a wide concentration range \u2013 from 4ppb (parts per billion) to 40%). Opto-chemical sensors are\u00a0extremely accurate, cover a wide range of applications and are easy to maintain.<\/h3>\n

This shift is called “Stoke’s” shift, the whole phenomenon fluorescence or luminescence.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This luminescence light “lights up”, which means that it is still lit for a while after switching off the excitation light. This time is referred to as the “lifetime of the luminescence process”; it is between nano seconds and a few seconds, depending on the used dye.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” oblique_section=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The properties of the emitted light are influenced by the concentration of analyte (the substance to be detected) and the environment of the luminescence dye. When choosing the right luminescence dye, the luminescence lifetime can be determined by measuring the intensity of the luminescence light as a function of time. The concentration of oxygen O2 can be determined therefrom. The measurement of the lifetime is much more reliable than measuring the intensity and is therefore more suitable for stable measurements.<\/h3>\n
