Optical Oxygen Sensors
PyroScience optical oxygen sensors utilize patented REDFLASH technology that guarantees fast and accurate oxygen measurements with no sample consumption.
These optical sensors work well in a variety of different gaseous, aqueous, and semi-solid samples in many types of applications, including challenging environments like organic solvents, microfluidics, and high-throughput screenings. Absence of stirring sensitivity, long shelf life, and resistance to corrosive environments, like seawater, are among the many advantages of these optical sensors in comparison to the alternative technologies, e.g. electro-chemical sensors. Choose from a variety of fiber-optic and contactless oxygen sensors, as well as solvent-resistant oxygen probes.
PyroScience recommends using their OXCAL zero oxygen calibration capsules which can be purchased directly from us. Note that all contactless sensors require fiber optic cables and other accessories (depending on sensor type) for complete sensor systems.
If you are not sure which sensor type would fit your application best, consider getting one of our starter kits that include a few different sensor types. Alternatively, we are happy to discuss your application in more detail to help you find the best possible system and sensor solution.
