Nexisense RDO-406-A Online Fluorescence Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Product Definition
The Nexisense RDO-406-A Online Fluorescence Dissolved Oxygen Sensor is an advanced sensor designed based on the quenching principle of fluorescence. It monitors the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water, providing precise data support for various water quality testing. This sensor is suitable for laboratory environments and can deliver reliable measurement results in various industrial and natural water bodies.
Principle
The working principle of the Nexisense RDO-406-A is based on the phenomenon of fluorescence quenching. When excitation light shines on the fluorescent material on the sensor's surface, these materials are excited and emit fluorescence. Dissolved oxygen molecules interfere with this process, causing changes in the fluorescence quenching time. The sensor accurately calculates the concentration of oxygen molecules by detecting the phase difference between fluorescence and excitation light, combined with internal calibration curves. After automatic compensation for temperature and salinity, the final accurate measurement value is output.
