Trace Oxygen Monitoring in Smallest Volumes

Oxygen Microsensor Integrated in Metal Flow-Through Cell FTCM-PSt8

A stainless steel tee is equipped with an oxygen microsensor. The FTCM-PSt8 has connectors for 1/16” steel tubing, and an inner volume of only 2.1 µL. It is suited for all applications where only small volumes are available. With a tapered microsensor tip and its extraordinarily fast response time t90 < 3 sec. oxygen monitoring in real time can be performed. The PSt8 type sensor has a measurement range of 0 – 10 % oxygen, with a detection limit of 0.007 % oxygen.

  • Perfusion monitoring in smallest volumes
  • High temporal resolution (t90 < 3 s)
  • No consumption of oxygen
  • Signal independent of flow velocity
  • Measures in liquids as well as in the gas phase
