UviLux is a range of compact single-parameter fluorometers for real-time in-situ detection of organic and refined contaminants. Sensor configurations are available for monitoring crude oil, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), refined fuels, CDOM (colored dissolved organic matter), TLF (tryptophan-like fluorescence), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and optical brightening agents.
Each UviLux sensor uses a selected fluorescence excitation wavelength and emission wavelength to detect and quantify small changes or trace contamination events. Excellent turbidity rejection and high ambient-light rejection enable sensitive measurements in marine, freshwater and wastewater environments.
The system-agnostic sensors offer plug-and-play integration with existing monitoring systems and deployment platforms, with a choice of digital and analogue data outputs. Low power and maintenance requirements make UviLux ideal for long-term operations.
