Gas sensors
Have you ever wondered why sensor manufacturers like Membrapor produce electrochemical cells in different sizes? What is the purpose? And are they interchangeable? Membrapor's white paper, available online, draws attention to frequently asked questions in the industry.
The different sensor sizes such as Compact (7-series), Miniature (4-series) or Vantage (5-series) have been developed over the years to suit different customer needs. Other sizes have also been promoted. There is a trend towards smaller sensors. While one customer needs small cells to fit their portable devices other customers require a high filter capacity to withstand harsh conditions. The third one needs high output signals to ensure a reliable detection of ppb-level gas concentrations.
