Liquid Permittivity (Dielectric) Sensing for a wide range of applications
The FPS is useful as a sensor/detector for research and development, QA/QC testing, automation and diagnostics of scientific instrumentation and liquid dispensing/handling devices. Here are a few of our favorite applications:
Liquid Chromatography Gradient Monitoring
Permittivity is a useful measure for monitoring gradients produced by LC pumps. When reproducibility is important, an FPS placed between the gradient pump and column provides assurance and a record of the gradient. Pump and solvent issues can be detected immediately.
CCC/CPC Multi-phase Liquid Monitoring
Monitoring the biphasic eluant as it exits the CCC column provides a new level of insight on stationary phase retention and bleed in real-time. Eliminates human error and tedious manual measurements. The 1kHz data-rate allows the FPS to be used for volumetric metering of multi-phase systems -- this means real-time Sf and K.
Process/System Control and Automation
The FPS is an excellent choice for detecting both gradual and instantaneous changes to flowing liquids. It's also useful for single and multiphase liquids and works great for bubble detection.
