Based on the contactless sensor technology, PyroScience offers ready assembled vials with integrated sensor stripes for all supported analytes. The glass respiration vials have screw caps with a septum, and are available with ca. 20mL (uncalibrated) volume. Adapter rings allow an easy fixation of optical fibers for read-out with optical meters from PyroScience for incubations in closed vials. The elongated shape of the sensor spots allows also measurements at different heights within the vial using several fibers/adapter rings in parallel.

Oxygen sensor stripe. This vial contains an oxygen sensor stripe.

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.

Temperature sensor stripe. This Vial contains an temperature sensor stripe for optimal temperature compensation.

Temperature range. This sensor is specified for the range of 0 to 50°C. Measurements at higher temperatures are possible, but the sensor specifications are not valid for temperatures out of this range.

Optical isolation. For applications at high ambient light (e.g. direct sunlight, illuminated samples) and in fluorescing / light-sensitive samples, an additional optical isolation (-OI) protection layer is added to the sensor surface to reduce enhanced sensor aging and to avoid interference with the oxygen measurements

Standard stock item. This item is typically in stock and small numbers can be shipped quickly. This does not apply for larger amounts, which ship with standard delivery time.
