Abstract :
In this paper a low-cost new system for multiple measurement of several substances is presented. Principle of operation is based in light analysis of chemical sensor phosphorescence emission. Fiber optics are used to guide the excitation and emission light, extending the possibilities of the instrument and allowing us to obtain excellent characteristics: high sensitivity and linearity, high precision and low maintenance cost
