Specifications 2.3 General principle of operation Optical sensing of oxygen originates from the work of Kautsky in 1939 where he demonstrated that oxygen can dynamically quench the fluorescence of an indicator (decrease the quantum yield). This principle has been reported in various fields of application such as monitoring aquatic biology in waste water, tests for blood gas analysis and cell culture monitoring.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer or your dealer immediately. A thin protective film has been placed over the screen of the ORBISPHERE 3100 analyzer to protect it from damage during transportation. For a clear view of the screen, this film must be peeled off before using the analyzer for the first time.
