Abstract

In this work it is presented the design and the preliminary results of a new prototype of luminometer, that allows to distinguish the signals from the same analyte (dissolved O₂) in different places (multiposition analysis) by using room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) measurements. The system uses an Intensified Charge-Coupled Device (ICCD) as detector. CCD detectors can provide multichannel detection and this offers a very important potential to measure simultaneously and distinguish the signals from different optical fibers placed at different height at the monochromator entrance slit. Bifurcated optical fibers are used to carry the light from the excitation source (a Xe flash lamp) to the sensing region and to conduct the RTP emission to the monochromator entrance slit. The developed system is used with four bifurcated optical fibers in order to measure simultaneously the RTP emission from four sensing materials placed at the end of bifurcated optical fibers.
