Measuring Liquids without Breaking Sterile Barrier with New Invention

Caption

Inventors Thomas Just Soerensen and Bo Wegge Laursen with two components of their newly patented invention. An environmentally sensitive fluorescent dye which emits light when influenced by the surrounding environment and a solid gel matrix which allows fluids to flow freely around the dye. Together the two will make it possible to conduct realtime non-invasive measurements in liquids which must remain sterile.
