Milk Analysis using a New Optical Multisensor System Based on Lanthanide(III) Complexes

Abstract

This study discusses the design, development, and construction of a low-cost optical multisensor system. The light sources in the proposed system are lanthanide(III) complexes emitting light in the near-infrared spectral region. Through the ability to adjust the source wavelength, this measuring platform can be used for a variety of practical tasks. The feasibility of the developed devices is demonstrated for the analysis of milk samples.
