Description
In the dynamic world of modern aquaculture, where the health and growth of fish are of paramount importance, maintaining optimal dissolved oxygen (DO) levels stands as a cornerstone for success. A low-maintenance
Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, tailored specifically for fish farming environments, emerges as a game-changer, offering reliable and accurate readings while drastically reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This innovative sensor is an indispensable asset for fish farmers striving for precise and efficient water quality control.
?
An optical dissolved oxygen sensor is a cutting-edge electronic instrument that harnesses fluorescence lifetime technology to accurately measure dissolved oxygen content in water. At its core lies the fluorescence quenching effect, a phenomenon where the time taken for a fluorescent substance's fluorescence to extinguish after exposure to excitation light is used to infer oxygen molecule concentration.
When excitation light hits the fluorescent substance on the membrane head's surface, it triggers fluorescence emission. The duration of this fluorescence is influenced by the oxygen molecule concentration on the membrane head. By detecting the phase difference between the fluorescence and excitation light and cross-referencing it with an internal calibration curve, the sensor calculates the oxygen molecule concentration. Temperature and salinity compensation further refine the reading, ensuring utmost accuracy.
Unlike traditional electrochemical sensors, which demand electrolytes, membranes, and frequent recalibration, optical dissolved oxygen sensors excel in low-maintenance continuous use within aquaculture settings.
