Frontier trace gas sensors addressing industrial challenges for environment, health, safety and security is a new Demo Centre organised by CNR-INO on June 17th, 2024 by CNR-INO as part of the PhotonHub Europe project.

Gas monitoring (industrial, medical, and environmental) requires sensitive, fast, and reliable measurement systems, and optical technologies can provide different effective solutions, targeted on specific applications.

The Demo Centre is a one-day course offering training on different state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques for trace gas sensing, combining interactive tutorials with hands-on experiences.
The course will be divided into four main part:
– Introductory tutorial on basic principles of spectroscopy and key-interest applications.
– Interactive tutorial and practical laboratory demonstration on the principles of operation of photoacoustic sensors and their applications (Demo 1).
– Interactive laboratory experience on absorption spectroscopy for monitoring and safety matched with a practical hands-on demonstration for measuring CO, CO2 and CH4 in air or breath (Demo 2).
– Interactive tutorial and hands-on training on the Saturated-absorption CAvity Ring-down (SCAR) 14C analyser, and its applications for industrial purposes (Demo 3).

The course targets a broad audience and mainly producers potentially interested in the exploitation of spectroscopic gas sensing solutions for industrial applications in different fields, such as health diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and security surveillance. A background in spectroscopic methods is not essential, although it might be advantageous.

The course will take place in the morning at the CNR-INO laboratories in Florence, and in the afternoon at the Sesto Fiorentino laboratories. The transfer is included in the service.

The registration fee is € 250, reduced to € 150 for registrations and payments before or on 10 May 2024.
Deadline for registration: June, 10 2024
