Configuration of sensor

Easy integration of sample systems with multiple physical/chemical sensors utilizing modem multi-drop commimication networks. An important aspect of the communication network (NeSSI -bus) is plug-n-play (i.e., self-identification/self-configuration of sensors and actuators) interchangeability. Increased use of small, smart, integrated sampling, sensor, and analyzer transmitters to provide more information about the sample and the process. Validation of representative sample and analysis.

From the practical point of view, the radiative decay rate kr may be assumed to be independent of the external parameters surrounding the excited sensor molecule. Its value is determined by the intrinsic inability of the molecule to remain in the excited state. The radiative decay rate kr is a function of the unperturbed electronic configuration of the molecule. In summary, for a given luminescent molecule, its unperturbed fluorescent or phosphorescent decay rate (or lifetime) may be regarded to be only a function of the nature of the molecule. 

In contrast, the nonradiative decay rate k r may be viewed to be determined by the localized environment of the luminescent molecule. The localized environment perturbs the natural electronic configuration of the sensor molecule increasing the probability of its decay. The functional form of knr is determined by the nature of the interaction between the excited sensor and its surrounding perturbation. For example, the knr may be proportional to the concentration, partial pressure, or value of a [Parameter] of interest ... 

The configuration of the probe is as shown in Figure 11.24. The sensor element itself, a small (approximately) rectangular-shaped (2x2x1 mm) piece of the synthetic crystal alexandrite, is held in a ceramic enclosure at the end of two fused silica fibers. The first fiber, that with a 0.4-mm core diameter, is used to transmit light from the excitation source to the sensor element. The second fiber, with a 1.0-mm core diameter, is used to receive the fluorescence response emitted from the sensor element. 

The most thoroughly developed sensor based on a solid electrolyte is the oxygen sensor using a stabilised zirconia electrolyte. This type of sensor is one of the most successful commercial sensors to date. They are widely used in industry, especially in the analysis of exhaust gases from combustion engines. The following configuration is used in the Oj sensors ...

Kinetic measurements are based on signal increments over preset intervals and have the advantage of their relative rather than absolute nature, which avoids interferences from the sample matrix. Figure 2.19.B shows the different variants of kinetic measurements in this context, which depend on the type of sensor and coupled continuous configuration used. The most immediate variant involves halting the flow over an interval At when the sample plug reaches the detector (Fig. 2.19.B.2), where the (bio)chemical reaction is allowed to developed while the product of interest is monitored simultaneously. The other two variants...
