REFERENCE DESIGN
Nitrate Sensor Reference Design (134-0003)
With the increased regulation controlling dissolved nitrogen in water and soil, the need for effective monitoring nitrate has taken an important priority in the domain of water and soil quality in many developed countries.
The property of nitrate to absorb the far UVC band of light with a wavelength under 240nm allows a quick and effective way to measure low levels of dissolved nitrate. This reference design demonstrates the absorption of Silanna’s 235nm light passed through a calibrated nitrate solution.
