Sensorex evaluates Crystal IS UVC LEDs
Sensorex, a manufacturer of sensors for water applications, has evaluated Crystal IS UVC LEDs as a light source replacement to mercury-based lamps.
Testing confirmed that brighter, longer lifetime UVC LEDs were a significant contribution to a UVT monitoring instrument that is able to achieve full intensity instantly; optimises UV disinfection dosage guaranteeing that systems are not under- or over-dosing water and reveals cost savings greater than the one-time cost of purchasing the UVT monitor.
"With Crystal IS, Sensorex can manufacture state-of-the-art sensors for water monitoring" says Larry Felton, CEO of Crystal IS. "Their willingness to test and implement new light sources proves why they continue to be a market leader."
The Crystal IS UVC LED allows manufacturers to fully exploit the power of UV-based technology to improve productivity, increase accuracy and create greater flexibility in product designs. Crystal IS UVC LED technology, made possible by the unique, low defect AlN substrate, delivers superior light output, better spectral quality and best-in-class reliability and lifetimes, a game changer for environmental monitoring, life sciences and analytical instrumentation.
"The small footprint, long lifetime and low power consumption if Crystal IS deep UV LEDs is ideal for the UVT-LED product," said Dan Shaver, new business manager at Sensorex. "This makes for a versatile product with extremely stable readings in all conditions, over an extended lifetime."
