Modular sensor design
In order to be able to adapt gas analyses as flexibly as possible to individual measurement tasks, the individual components designed modularly. This resulted in a »modular system« in which the various photometric components such as detectors, emitters, measuring sample cell, etc. can be exchanged. Aluminium with bright gold coating and passivated stainless steel is used as the standard sample cell material. PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is also available for special applications.
With this sophisticated sensor design, customer-specific applications can also be realized without the need for a completely new development. The modularity makes replacement and maintenance considerably easier when servicing is required. Completely bonded gas sensors, on the other hand, can only be replaced as a complete unit and thus generate high follow-up costs (total cost of ownership) in case of maintenance.
Optionally, the different gas measurement modules can also be equipped with a pressure measurement (P.sens) oxygen measurement (O2.sens) or a humidity measurement (HUMI.sens).

INFRA.sens®
General information about the INFRA.sens®
The INFRA.sens® was specially developed for high-quality NDIR gas analysis. In the design phase, special emphasis was placed on high stability and a low detection limit. With the use of high-performance light emitting diodes (IR-LED) and thermal micro radiators, which were adapted to the needs of gas measurement technology, these goals were achieved in full. In the spectral range from 2 μm to 12 μm, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide can be reliably detected up to the ppm range with this new sensor platform.

ULTRA.sens®
General information about the ULTRA.sens®
The ULTRA.sens® is the world’s first OEM gas measurement module based on miniaturized UV LEDs. The stability and lifetime of these UV-LEDs enables high-precision gas analyses down to the ppb range. By using two UV-LEDs 2 gases can be detected simultaneously. With this approach, 2 measuring ranges from ppm to Vol.-% can also be realized.
In the spectral range from 200 nm to 500 nm, nitrogen oxides (NO+NO2), aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide, ozone, sulphur dioxide and chlorine can be reliably detected with this novel sensor platform.
