BlueBlink sensors overview

BlueBlink is a contactless sensing system for the measurement of oxygen concentration in gases and liquids. It is made of two basic parts: an optical reader and a sensing spot. Basically, the sensing spot should be placed in contact with the medium of interest so the reader can obtain a measurement of the oxygen amount.

The BlueBlink system is based on the fluorescence quenching physical phenomenon and, therefore, it has a negligible influence on the oxygen concentration in the analyte, which makes it indicated to be operated in small volumes.

Optical readers can measure through almost any non-colored transparent thin wall in a noninvasive mode. Moreover, the software allows operating up to ten readers simultaneously and log the measurements for post-processing through a single PC connection.

The BlueBlink most important features are the following:

  • It can be configured to perform periodical non-invasive measurements.
  • It uses a non-chemically-based measurement process.
  • It can be adapted to almost any non-colored transparent vessel.
  • Sensing spots are biocompatible, sterile and self-adhesive.
  • Bus connection for of up to ten optical readers through a single USB connector.
  • Each reader can be operated independently.
  • It provides precise and robust measurements.

Anchoring systems

Adjustable anchoring system

Adjustable anchoring system

This anchroing system allows to customize the length of the chamber shaft in order to adapt it to the length of the scaffold. Thereby, the deformation conditions can be adjusted when working with different length scaffolds or to obtain homogenous conditions when working with the hydrostatic pressure chambers. It is comaptible with all the chambers and grips available.
