Optical Sensor Coating Services

Ocean Optics has expanded its optical sensor coating services, enabling OEMs and product developers to create and manufacture custom oxygen and pH sensor accessories for optical chemical sensing applications. These accessories include fibre optic probes, cuvettes, Petri dishes and microscope slides. The added services include the licensing of Ocean Optics proprietary oxygen and pH coating technologies, and custom sensor coating research and development. They also include contract manufacturing services using a clients proprietary indicator with Ocean Optics coating, or using a clients proprietary coating and indicator. Fibre optic chemical sensing is a means by which chemicals can be detected using a spectrometer, a light/excitation source and sampling accessories. Ocean Optics has developed an innovative line of modular fibre optic components and systems that can be used to monitor oxygen in biological samples, headspace gases, slurries, ­cosmetics, foods and gases, and pH in solution.
