CO₂ incubator sensor for OEMs PFAS-free sensor head and filter concept - precise CO 2 control from 0-20 vol.%, developed for the harsh reality in cell incubators: humidity, sterilization, long-term operation. Implementing PFAS requirements in CO 2 incubators without compromising on performance and reliability is a key issue for many OEM teams right now. MicroSENS CO 2 180 PFAS-free supports precisely this: a PFAS-free design in the wetted, gas-exposed materials of the sensor head (incl. filter concept) - combined with a stable NDIR measurement for the range 0-20 vol.% CO 2. Why OEM teams choose the MicroSENS CO 2 180 PFAS-free PFAS-free sensor head PFAS-free design for all gas-exposed materials, including the filter concept in the sensor head. CO 2 Range 0–20 % Incubator-specific measuring range for precise CO 2 control and reliable monitoring inside the device. Sterilizable up to 180 °C Ideal for heat sterilization: typically 180 °C, short-term exposure up to a maximum of 190 °C. Dualbeam NDIR stable Dualbeam-NDIR technology reduces drift and ensures stable long-term CO 2 measurements. In-operation compensation Temperature, pressure, and humidity compensation ensure stable and accurate readings. 5-point calibration 5-point calibration improves linearity and accuracy across the entire measurement range. OEM-ready Integration Digital and analog interfaces, plus a standardized feedthrough concept for integration. Support PFAS compliance - with PFAS-free sensor head & filter concept 1 Support PFAS compliance The MicroSENS CO 2 180 PFAS-free is designed so that no intentionally added PFAS are used in the gas-exposed components of the sensor head - including the filter concept. This helps implement PFAS compliance strategies in incubator projects pragmatically: lower risk in material assessment, less documentation effort and a solution that aligns with international sustainability goals and PFAS-restrictive applications. In short: Designed PFAS-free - built for real-world incubator conditions. 2 Stable CO₂ measurement (0–20 vol.%) For excellent measurement results, the sensor is temperature- and pressure-compensated and additionally features humidity compensation — crucial for the humid incubator atmosphere. The dual-beam NDIR method provides high long-term stability and minimizes drift compared to alternative measurement principles. Another advantage for development teams: the 5-point calibration improves linearity compared to many common 3-point concepts on the market. This ensures the measurement remains precise and well controllable not only around typical setpoints (e.g., 5 vol.%), but across the entire 0–20 vol.% range. 3 Faster to series production: easy integration Digital and analog interfaces enable straightforward communication with the incubator control electronics. In addition, the MicroSENS CO 2 180 PFAS-free — like all MicroSENS sensors — uses an identical feedthrough concept for the incubator rear wall. This reduces OEM integration effort and simplifies replacement within consistent incubator designs. Because sterilization is possible with the sensor head installed, the risk of cross-contamination is reduced — and handling during operation becomes easier. At the same time, the design for a high number of sterilization cycles helps minimize maintenance and follow-up costs.

Sulphur hexafluoride is still indispensable in many applications as a trace, protective or insulating gas. Due to the high greenhouse effect of SF 6, responsible handling of the gas is all the more important. The MicroFLOW SF6.100 Vol.-% sensor is suitable for a wide range of demanding applications that require precision and reliability. FIELDS OF APPLICATION Industry:SF 6 is used in plasma etching processes to create precise patterns on semiconductor materials such as silicon, silicon dioxide and other compounds. The gas is used in special etching chambers where it is converted into a plasma by applying high-frequency energy. This plasma then reacts selectively with the material and enables the precise engraving or removal of materials in a very controlled and accurate process. In the production of aluminum, sulfur hexafluoride is used as a tracer gas to improve the efficiency of the production process and detect potential problems at an early stage. It is also used in this area to monitor the quality and consistency of the end product. Energy technology: In the field of electricity supply, SF 6 is used as an insulating gas and cooling medium in high-voltage switchgear and transformers. The measurement of sulphur hexafluoride is important in order to identify leaks at an early stage and to monitor the condition of the systems. MEASUREMENT ACCURACY Our NDIR gas sensor achieves precise results when measuring and monitoring sulfur hexafluoride. With 10-point linearization, the maximum deviation of the measured gas concentration is less than one percent over the entire measuring range up to 100 percent by volume. The sensor reliably detects minimal gas concentrations to recognize even the smallest changes in the gas mixture. You are free to choose your application's measuring range, such as 90 vol.-%, from the full measuring range of 0 to 100 vol.-%. Any deviations resulting from pressure fluctuations or barometric changes are compensated for with the µP.sens pressure sensor in the cuvette block (< 0.1 % / 10 hPa), eliminating any potential leaks or falsification of measured values. The module's overall space requirement is reduced in comparison to similar sensors by integrating the pressure sensor into the cuvette block. Temperature compensation is ensured for each sensor. Testing and calibration of each module take place in the climate chamber, recording and adjusting the error curve during measurement with a test gas of specific concentration. The test and calibration are performed at the operating range of the sensor from 5 to 45 °C, including the zero and span points, as well as at other typical temperatures within the operating range of the sensor. The maximum deviation is less than 1 % per 10K. RANGE OF FUNCTIONS The RS232 and CAN-Bus digital interfaces commonly used in industry are available as standard. Select an interface for your configuration using the optional accessories and the MARS light software. Follow the software manual for instructions. The cuvette is optimized for measuring sulphur hexafluoride up to 100% by volume. Compared to conventional sensors, our sensor permits measurements in a wide pressure range of 300 - 1200 hPa. For instance, the sensor is suitable for higher geographical locations or systems that require negative pressure measurement. LIFETIME The anodized aluminum gas connection blocks ensure long service life and reliability in harsh environmental conditions. The stainless steel gas connections additionally enhance durability. Tests conducted in the climatic chamber within the operating temperature range eliminate premature component failures. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Download the MARS light software for gas sensors at no cost and get started with your gas sensor right away. The software eliminates the need to create your own and saves you time on initial test measurements. Consuming less than 1 watt, the sensor can be be used with battery-powered devices. Integration is easy, with a wide voltage range of 9 to 30 volts, allowing it to connect with most existing systems. Gases may require pre-cooling or heating for analysis, depending on the specific needs. To prevent potential gas condensation effects in the cuvette, it is possible to monitor the gas temperature in the measurement system. Our modular design makes cleaning and maintenance simple, unlike many comparable products. Detailed information on installation and operation can be found in the user manual. Our data sheet briefly lists the most important technical details. We will be happy to advise you on your individual questions and requirements.
