Sensor At Work

Integrated Active Sensitization Fluorometer (Integrated-ASF™)

With seven patents pending across more than 200 miniaturized discrete components, the Integrated-ASF™ revolutionizes data extraction for the global mining industry.

The Integrated-ASF™ overcomes the burden of a complicated and prolonged on-site technician-led collection and in-lab analysis, empowering administrators’ strategic decision-making with accurate, comprehensive datasets, and onsite analysis from the most remote locations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The video above illustrates the sensor at work:

The Integrated-ASF™ sensor is suspended/connected to a pipe (or tank) within a continuous fluid flow.

The sensor and reagent are customized to detect your specified chemical or mineral. The photochemical reagent is chambered within the sensor and introduced into the flow, launching a fluid-fluid reaction.

An optical response occurs as substances are identified and the data is digitally captured. The speed of this test cycle can be adjusted per operational needs but can be calibrated for cycles as fast as 20 seconds each.
