There were 23 questions found in this category:
  1. questionCan the inNO-T system make NO measurements in the gas phase?
    No.

  2. questionCan these sensors be used to measure nitrite and nitrate?
    Yes, the concentration of nitrite in a sample can be measured by injecting a certain volume of the sample into an acid/iodide solution in which nitrite is converted to NO, then detected by the sensor.To measure nitrate, it must be first converted to nitrite.

  3. questionHow are the amiNO sensors calibrated?
    A simple, economical and a reliable chemical reaction for NO production is used to calibrate the amiNO sensors.This reaction is based on the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide in acidic solution in the presence of iodide ion.The reaction has a ratio of one to one,meaning that the amount of NO ...

  4. questionHow can I decrease the response time of the inNO-T system?
    If the sensor is dirty or has not been polarized for a sufficient period of time, it may lead to increased noise, slow response, and decreased sensitivity. Before calibrating and using the sensor, it should be polarized overnight. The longer the polarization time, the more stable and reproducibl ...

  5. questionHow can I increase the sensitivity of the inNO-T system?
    If the sensor is dirty or has not been polarized for a sufficient period of time, it may lead to increased noise, slow response, and decreased sensitivity. Before calibrating and using the sensor, it should be polarized overnight. The longer the polarization time, the more stable and reproducibl ...

  6. questionHow do I decrease background noise enough to measure nanomolar levels of NO with the inNO-T Nitric Oxide detector?
    To measure nanomolar levels of NO, as done by many researchers, the user needs to have better grounding. Fluctuations in environmental noise and temperature will effect background. The meter should be grounded and not placed under an air condition vent or where the flow of air is high. The use o ...

  7. questionHow do I increase the recording time when using the inNO-T nitric oxide detector?
    The inNO-T software can be used to record and save data for a month or more. However, the default setting for recording memory is 100K which is only enough memory for up to 13 hours of recording at a sampling rate of 2/sec. To increase the recording time, go to "setup" then "recording memory" th ...

  8. questionHow long did it take to develop these sensors?
    The research and development of these amiNO sensors was started in 1991,before the commercial availability of any NO sensor. This research led to the development of some of the first commercially available NO sensors.Continuing research and development of the sensors over the next 10 years has l ...

  9. questionHow many types of nitric oxide sensors are currently available?

  10. questionIf the sensitivity of a sensor is 100pA/nM, is this sensitivity retained at very low concentrations of NO?
    Yes,we calibrate all amiNO sensors and calculate their sensitivities below 100 nM concentration. Consequently, if 5 nM NO present in solution, the 500 pA signal can be easily detected by the inNO Nitric Oxide Measuring System due to its sophisticated state of the art electronics design and digit ...

  11. questionWhat are the criteria used for selecting a specific sensor?
    The selection of the proper NO sensor strictly depends upon the application, the expected level of NO, and budgetary requirements.The following table can be useful in choosing the right sensor for you: amiNO Sensor Selection Guide ApplicationFirst Choice(s) Second Choice(s) Measuring NO relea ...

  12. questionWhat are the differences between the various amiNO sensors?
    Differences include size, flexibility of the body, durability, sensitivity and response time. amiNO sensors are specifically designed application specific requirements.

  13. questionWhat do amiNO sensors measure?
    These sensors measure free NO regardless of its source or environment.

  14. questionWhat instrument(s) can be used with the amiNO sensors?
    For optimum results it is recommended that the ‘amiNO’ sensors be used only with the ‘inNO’ Nitric Oxide Measuring System. However, sensors are compatible with other existing NO meters on the market today through the use of available adapters.

  15. questionWhat is basic operation principle of these sensors?
    The sensing element of the sensor is covered with a series of gas permeable membranes allowing only certain types of gas to pass through.NO diffuses through these membranes and reacts at the electrode surface.The exchange of electrons between NO and the electrode surface results in an electrical ...

  16. questionWhat is the difference between sensitivity and detection limit?
    Sensitivity is the magnitude of the response per unit concentration. Detection limit is the concentration of analyte that produces a signal equal three times the noise level.For example if a sensor gives a response of 1500 pA for 10 nM of NO and the noise level is 4 pA then 1500/10 = 150 pA/nM ( ...

  17. questionWhat is the function of the inNO software?
    The inNO analysis software controls the parameters for NO measurements, display (charting), analysis and data saving and retrieval. Features include automatic temperature compensation, the ability to zero the background, control the recording speed, and change the scale and all the basic functio ...

  18. questionWhat is the inNO-T System?
    inNO stands for Innovative Nitric Oxide Measuring and Recording System. Simply put, it is a “state of the art” computer controlled nitric oxide meter and data acquisition system all in one compact battery operated unit. It is the most technologically advanced nitric oxide meter on th ...

  19. questionWhat is the lifetime of these amiNO sensors?
    The general lifetime of the ‘amiNO’ sensors varies from one sensor to another.The amiNO-2000 is very durable and can be used for years.This sensor is supplied with extra membrane sleeves that can be changed by the user as needed.The amiNO-IV,amiNO-FLAT and amiNO-700 are constructed o ...

  20. questionWhat is the response time of the amiNO sensors?
    Response time is the time required to reach 90% of the peak response.The response time of the ‘amiNO’ sensors varies from one design to another from under one second to several seconds.
