TEI was founded in 1968 and has developed new instruments to realize an innovative company having with a motto "open up the future of photonics and electronics". We believe that precision instruments are essential to manufacture good products. TEI has successfully developed ultra high sensitive photo-counting apparatus under a contract "analytical instrument to evaluate the degradation of oil with an opto-electronic method" under financial support of the Government in 1976.
Especially polymer & plastic processors looking to improve product quality, determine the cause of defects, or optimize all stages of their moulding processes, are increasingly making use of chemiluminescence as an invaluable monitoring tool.
A key merit of TEI’s ultra-sensitive instrument is its ability to detect the very early stages of degradation.
Chemiluminescence Analyzer
"Chemiluminescence"(chemical luminescence) is the phenomenon arising from chemical reactions. Compounds generated in an excited state by chemical reactions, released to the ground state, discharge light. Exposed to the atmosphere almost all materials generate chemiluminescence as a result of oxidation reactions.
The Chemiluminescence Analyzer (CLA series) is the most sensitive photon counting device and the only spectrometer with that sensitivity in the world. It detect down to 50 photons/cm2/sec (about 1/10000 of a firefly) 10-15 Watts.
There are many things emitting ultra-weak light invisible to the human eye such as Chemiluminescence, Bioluminescence, Biophoton and we can study research for several field to detect such invisible light.
Especially, Chemiluminescence can estimate the oxidation or deterioration level of organic samples. Our instrument is applied not only this oxidation field but the other several field.
It is important to evaluate and prolong the life-times of new products. Conventional methods cannot evaluate the early-stage levels of deterioration and inefficient time-consuming testing is necessary:
・Sample collection from the market -> several years
・Outdoor exposure test -> few years
・Accelerated testing -> several months
Conversely, our CL method directly detects very small traces of peroxide allowing a material's oxidation level to be determined very quickly.
