AKTS-Chemiluminescence Instrumentation

To measure the chemiluminescence originating from long-term oxidation at low temperatures, a modular and highly sensitive instrumentation was developed. The instrumentation’s setup is designed to fulfill requirements necessary during diverse applications.

In an oven cell, the oxidation is thermally induced at moderate temperatures (isothermal and non-isothermal mode). The emitted chemiluminescence emission is then directed via pathway to the detection unit, which counts single photons of the over-all Chemiluminescence emission.

Depending on customer’s demands, the experimental atmosphere may contain oxidation influencing factors such as relative humidity and pollutants.

The setup of AKTS – Chemiluminescence instrumentation is modular and depends on the customer’s application. Customer has the choice between state-of-the-art sensitive single-channel design and multi-channel design offering an independent investigation of different samples in one oven (to prevent cross contamination, each sample is located in its own compartment but in the same oven cell). Both designs may be available as single- or multi-oven instrumentations which may be extended by the following facilities:

• In connection to a gas control and conditioning unit, Chemiluminescence experiments may be performed under additional oxidation relevant factors such as relative humidity (below 95°C), pollutants etc. It is possible to make any mixture of two gases in order to provide the specific atmospheres upon customer’s request.

• Spectrometric unit: the facility provides the continuous wavelength detection of chemiluminescence emission in the range of 280-700 nm.

A basic instrumentation is not more expensive than a commercial DSC apparatus.
