Time-gated single-read sensing for low-maintenance online free chlorine monitoring

OneStep Technologies develops stabilized chromogenic reagent platforms for automated water analysis, with a current focus on online free chlorine monitoring. Our technology is designed to improve reagent stability, simplify operation, reduce maintenance burden, and support integration into OEM and instrument-based monitoring systems.

The platform combines stabilized single-reagent chemistry with time-gated single-read optical detection. A predefined measurement time enables routine quantitation from one absorbance reading per analytical cycle, without slope fitting, derivative calculations, or regression-window selection.

Together with reagent stability of up to 24 months under sealed storage conditions, this measurement architecture is designed to reduce routine maintenance workload and create a practical route for online chlorine monitoring in real-world operating environments.
