Abstract
A range of phosphorescence dyes are now available which have lifetimes at room temperature which are sufficiently long to be measured using relatively inexpensive flashlamp based instrumentation1,2. These can be used to monitor oxygen through the quenching effect of this gas, the monitoring of lifetime rather than intensity having the advantage that the measurements are not affected by variations in excitation lamp intensity or alterations in dye concentration. The dye palladium coproporphyrin has been widely used for this purpose for the monitoring of intravascular oxygenation3.
