WPI´s New Fiber Optic Dipping Probes (FODP) are transmission probes optimized for real time liquid UV/VIS/NIR absorbance and transmission measurements. Built with our proprietary qualified fiber that enhances the sensitivity and improves the detection limits when compared with traditional common dipping probes currently on the market. These probes are ideal for f testing liquid samples for science and industry applications requiring in-situ continuous monitoring or on-the-spot analysis where it is not practical to bring the sample to a cuvette in an instrument. Along with our proprietary qualified optical fibers, the proprietary probe design has stainless steel and fused silica contact areas to withstand a variety of chemical compositions. Several probe geometries are available including overall tip size, length, and even angular probe configurations to be inserted into production fittings or to avoid dead zones of measurement vessels so as to obtain the best data possible.
