The fiber-optic oxygen sensors from PyroScience feature no oxygen consumption, no stirring sensitivity, an extremely long shelf time, resistance to corrosive environments (e.g. seawater) and are suitable for multiple applications in gas, water and aqueous samples.
This fiber-optic microsensor consist of an optical fiber (230 µm) with a sensor tip diameter of approximately 50-70 µm. Microsensors are perfectly suited for measurements in small samples and for profile measurements (e.g. in sediments, soils, plant tissue, biofilm) with high spatial resolution (microprofiling).
Typical applications:
- Dissolved Oxygen in Water
- Oxygen Monitoring in Gas
- Intrusion into biological samples ("implantable oxygen sensors")
- Integration in customized housings with complex geometries
- Measurements in small volumes and small samples
Customer report:
Standard range. This sensor is specified for an optimum measuring range of 0 to 500 hPa oxygen (0 -250% air saturation). However, without specifications, it is possible to measure in up to 1 bar pure oxygen/100% oxygen saturation/100% oxygen. For detailed specifications, see the respective pdf file in the Downloads tab.
Bare fiber. The bare fiber oxygen sensors are principally identical to our Retractable Needle-Type oxygen sensors, but they come without any sensor housing.
ST-connector. This connector is our standard sensor connector for sensor compatible PC-operated and handheld FireSting devices.
Easy calibration. A simple ambient air calibration can be performed with a few clicks (<1 minute for equilibrated setup). For precise oxygen measurements close to 0% we also offer easy-to-use calibration capsules (OXCAL). Simply dissolve the content of one calibration capsule in 50 ml distilled water, wait 10-15 minutes, perform the 0% calibration and start measurements with a calibrated sensor. For detailed calibration recommendations refer to the manual in the downloads tab.
4m cable length (-CL4). Cable length of ca. 4m, instead of standard 2m cable length.
