Reduces Air Bubble Formation during Dissolved Oxygen Measurements
Oxygen Exchange Cap OEC30-PSt7-YAU
This beveled sensor cap with integrated PSt7 sensor is specifically designed to reduce air bubble formation during dissolved oxygen measurements with the OXYPro® WR / WRM. The PSt7 sensor has a maximum measurement range of 0 - 100 % O2, and a detection limit of 0.03 % O2 / 20 ppb. The sensor cap is available in different versions: USP Class VI compatible (YOP) for bioprocess monitoring, safe for food applications (CAF), or with a hydrophobic Teflon coating (PTFE) for measurements in aggressive environments. It stands steam sterilization and cleaning in place.
- Maximum measurement range of 0 - 100 % O2
- Reduced air bubble formation
- Different versions: USP Class VI compatible, food applications, aggressive environments
- Stands SIP (recommended: + 121 °C, 30 min) & CIP (+ 80 °C, 2 % NaOH)
- Easy exchange due to barcode calibration
- Pressure resistant
