Optosense aims to commercialize a relative humidity measurement method developed at Tampere University. The method is based on plastic films where the rate of changes in light transmission stronly depend on the ambient relative humidity. The method enables measuring humidity using a compact and affordable sensor that can be easily replaced in case on contamination. No calibration is required after sensor change. Humidity can be read from the inside of a sealed container in case it is at least partly transparent.
