Title: Determining salinity using a multimode fiber optic surface plasmon resonance dip-probe. Author: Gentleman DJ, Booksh KS. Journal: Talanta; 2006 Jan 15; 68(3):504-15. PubMed ID: 18970350. Abstract: For the first time a fiber optic surface plasmon resonance sensor with demonstrated accuracy and precision of less than 200 ppm salinity is presented for calibration across a range of temperatures and salinities. Also shown is the potential for the sensor system to reach precisions of 10 ppm or less. Calibration models are constructed for 28-48 per thousand salinity and a method for translating the calibration models to account for varying temperatures between 0 and 25 degrees C are demonstrated. The long-term susceptibility of the fiber optic sensor to fouling and drift is discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
