This dissolved oxygen sensor is based on optical measurement

The 2610 Optical Dissolved Oxygen sensor uses optical technology to measure dissolved oxygen, rather than the galvanic or polarimetric measurement technologies that have been used traditionally. The existing technologies require membranes and reference solutions, while the optical technique does not.…

This handheld monitor of particulate matter has a high selectivity range

The Microdust Pro airborne particulate matter monitor is a portable, hand-held instrument that assesses concentrations of suspended matter in a sensitivity range of 1 µg/m3 to 2,500 mg/m3. The wide range makes it one of the most versatile monitors on…
