Sensor Cap for Air Bubble Reduction on OXYPro® MR / MRM
Oxygen Exchange Cap OEC30-PSt8-YAU
A mid-range sensor (type PSt8) is integrated in a beveled steel cap that reduces air bubble formation during dissolved oxygen measurements. This sensor has a maximum measurement range of 0 - 20.9 % oxygen and a detection limit of 0.007 % O2 / 3 ppb. The cap is available in different versions: YOP for bioprocess monitoring, safe for food applications (CAF), or with a hydrophobic Teflon coating (PTFE) for measurements in aggressive environments. It can be screwed to an OXYPro® MR / MRM for easy sensor replacement. The sensor cap stands steam sterilization and cleaning in place.

- Reduced air bubble formation
- Different versions: food applications, aggressive environments
- Stands SIP (max. + 140 °C, 1.5 atm) & CIP (+ 80 °C, 2 % NaOH)
- Pressure resistant
