Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC) has successfully developed a trace moisture analyser in nitrogen using properties from a metal organic framework (MOF) with optical characteristics that change depending on absorption and desorption of moisture.
TNSC conducted the research jointly with Associate Professor Shin-Ichi Ohira of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology at Kumamoto University.
The analyser traces moisture in nitrogen using an MOF with a porous structure as a moisture-sensitive agent that fulfils a response speed of less than five minutes and lower detection limit of 10 vol. ppb at a cost of less than 1 million.
