Description
UviLux PAH Sensor from Chelsea Technologies
UviLux PAH Sensor
The Highly sensitive UV PAH sensor fluorometer is for real-time, in situ detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Chelsea’s PAH sensors enable the reporting of a range of hydrocarbon products that may be present within a catchment where industrial activities are in place.
A compact and highly sensitive fluorometer with excellent turbidity rejection and high ambient light rejection working at the surface and to depths of up to 1000 m.

Fluorescence is reported in Quinine Sulphate Units (QSU), where 1 QSU is equivalent to the fluorescence intensity recorded from 1 ppb quinine sulphate at an excitation wavelength of 347.5 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm. Factors are provided for selected compounds to convert the fluorescence output from QSU to ppb of the compound of interest
