NITRIC OXIDE RELEASE
Nitric Oxide (NO) release has been a major issue for precise NO sensor and AND gate testing. NO is a unstable species which degrades quickly in an aqueous medium. It is produced using the DETA/NO release mechanism. DETA was chosen because its half life is about 20 h, meaning it produces a slow and regular release, ensuring an almost constant concentration for a long duration.
