Optical pH Measurements of Microtiter Wells

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Novel optical pH sensors based on proprietary sol gel coatings have been designed to measure pH with high resolution and accuracy. Unlike electrodes, these pH sensors are immune to  changes in ionic strength, turbidity and temperature, and work well even in low salinity environments. (more…)

Solar Irradiance Measurements

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Miniature spectrometers such as our Jaz modular sensing suite are especially suited to solar irradiance measurements, where portability and flexibility make the researcher’s job easier. Determination of absolute and relative solar irradiance is possible, as well as related applications such as measurement of upwelling and downwelling radiation. (more…)
