Kære Mirza,
Tak for din kommentar og støtte til indsatsområdet. DFM værdsætter det mangeårige samarbejde med DTU, som har resulteret i en række publikationer i internationale tidsskrifter. Vi er overbeviste om, at de nye elementer i dette samarbejde, som du nævner, vil bidrage til nye forbedrede metrologiydelser hos DFM samt genere international bevågenhed. Vi ser frem til samarbejdet.
Best regards,
Jan

Kære Martin,
Tak for din kommentar. Jeres observation viser, hvor vigtigt det er. at anvende sporbart kalibreret udstyr for at sikre ækvivalens i målinger. DFM deltager i internationale sammenligninger af pH målinger, netop for at sikre at data kan sammenlignes internationalt. DFM har i mange år udbudt pH kalibrering. For at adressere de specifikke udfordringer, der er i forbindelse med havvand, foreslår vi et samarbejde.
Med venlig hilsen,
Jan

Kære Martin,
Tak for din kommentar. Vi er helt enig i din vurdering, DFM har stor interesse i at måle gasemission fra biogasanlæg og er i færd med at udvikle sensorer til dette formål. Sensorerne er baseret på DFM’s mangeårige erfaring med molekylær spektroskopi. I vores teknologier anvender vi kendskab til linjestyken af molekylære absorptionslinjer til absolut bestemmelse af mængden af gas uden regelmæssig brug af referencegasser til kalibrering af sensorerne. DFM ser gerne et samarbejde med DTU Miljø omkring måling af emissioner.
Med venlig hilsen,
Jan

Dear Flemming,
Thank you for your comment. The production of energy based on oil and gas or wind has a number of special challenges. Applying appropriate measurement technologies and sensors will make a good contribution to make offshore operations more safe and green. DFM has for a number of years developed highly sensitive trace gas sensors that can be placed in fixed positions or attached to drones. DFM will continue developing trace gas sensors and include advanced procedures based on machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to improve safety and maintenance in a marine and offshore working environment. We are looking forward to work with ESVAGT on new approaches to detect pollution from oil and gas production.
Best regards,
Jan

Kære Poul,
Tak for din kommentar. Metrologi er helt klart en vigtig disciplin for ESA, som selv har metrologilaboratorier i deres faciliteter. Men som du påpeger, er der en stadig udvikling inden for rumfartteknologi og metrologiaktiviteter må nødvendigvis følge med. DFM deltager for tiden sit andet ESA projekt. I begge projekter har DFM hovedsagelig bidraget med sine kompetencer inden for udvikling af meget frekvensstabile lasere. Vi søger netop et nyt projekt. DFM finder det meget interessant at deltage i ESA opgaver, og vi vil gerne mødes med ESA BIC Denmark for at høre om flere muligheder.
Med venlig hilsen,
Jan

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for your comment and support for DFM’s proposal. DFM has built up strong competences in Raman based techniques with improvements in sensing and calibration methods. We have a particular interest in label free chemically specific imaging techniques, such as SRS, IR and PTIR microscopy, where we can benefit from our expertise in optical spectroscopy. We will continue our efforts in advancing the field of bioimaging with optical methods such as quantum-enhanced SRS microscopy and optical photothermal infrared imaging.
AFM is also a key competence of DFM with many applications in material sciences. We have used AFM for characterization of drug formulations (ex. coating) and are aiming at expanding the application of the technique to biological samples with delicate mechanical properties. The understanding of mechanical properties of cells and tissues is essential for the advancement of pharmaceutical and biomedical technologies.
We will be happy to collaborate with DAMBIC on future development and standardization in the field of bioimaging.
Best regards,
Jan

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your comment and your support of our initiative. DFM has in recent years built up metrological competences in trace gas detection. We have developed laser based spectroscopic methods for the determination of amount of substance and developed a number of gas sensors. We will continue to develop calibration techniques to determine amount of substance without using reference gases as well as design novel compact and robust gas sensors for trace gas sensing. We look forward to collaborate with and assist COPAC in their further development of trace gas detection systems as well as provide calibration of novel gas sensors using our metrology approach and scientific expertise.
Best regards,
Jan
