Benefits of Temperature Monitoring

• Vessel temperature monitoring increases safety of digestion operation
• Increases lifetime of digestion vessel by direct temperature monitoring
• Programmable temperature limits for starting cooling operation
• Close observations, recording and reporting
• Sample temperature monitoring for highly accurate research analysis
• Precise and automatic sample temperature control

Benefits of Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors

1. Faster Reaction Time
The measuring speed of the sensor is extremely important for controlling exothermic reactions effectively. The in-situ Fiber optic temperature sensors provide fastest response time (within 0.1s) in detecting temperature change.

2. Direct and Accurate Measurement
Direct contact with vessels and sample ensures efficient and safe control of the digestion process. It also helps in analyzing different vessel's reaction for consistency and detecting any abnormality.

3. Immunity to Microwaves and EMI Fields
Immunity to microwave and EMI fields helps in using Fiber Optic temperature sensors without any bulky shielding (as it would be required in case of thermocouples). Bulky shielding always introduces delay and inaccuracy in measurements.

4. No Contamination to Digestion Sample
Fiber optic temperature sensors bounded with PTFE material never pose a risk of contaminating digestion sample and leading to failure of experiment or safety measures.

5. Corrosion Resistant
Corrosion from the sensor coating / shielding always have risk of failing experiments. Fiber optic temperature sensors are bounded by PTFE, the same material that is used for making vessel caps. Therefore no risk of corrosion.

6. Pressure Neutral Temperature Measurement
GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) based Fiber Optic temperature sensors are not impacted by pressure and provide similar accuracy in high pressure and low pressure environment. Ideal for pressure digestion applications.

7. Ease of Handling (Plug and Play)
Fiber optic temperature sensors do not need any special mounting requirements and can be mounted at tiny spaces. These sensors do not require complex calibration and can be reused in different applications.
