Novel aqueous CO/sub 2/- and gaseous NH/sub 3/-sensors based on modular microoptical components (MORES/sup /spl reg//)

Few optical chemo-sensors for applications in research and industry are available on the market today. As the accurate measurement of aqueous carbon dioxide and gaseous ammonia is of particular importance, we decided to develop the MORES/sup /spl reg//-technology - a new concept based on modular microoptical components - in connection with chemo-sensitive layers.
