hydrogen - laboratory ES-H₂-L sensors

The laboratory sensor ES-H₂-L consists of a pre-amplifier covered by a titanium housing and a sensitive tip covered by a titanium protection cage.

• Rapid measurements of dissolved hydrogen.
• Calibrated and ready to use.
• Ideal for solutions with depths less than 1m.
• Data loggers are available if required.

The amperometric H₂ micro-sensor has been developed for the in-situ determination of dissolved hydrogen-containing aqueous solutions. Therefore, the sensor is suitable for direct measurements in coloured and turbid solutions.

Special applications are the measurement in the condensate of compost factories and in power stations, but also in the chemical industry to follow chemical reactions. Compared with all the commercially available hydrogen sensors, this amperometric hydrogen micro-sensor works with such a low analyte consumption that streaming of the sensor membrane or stirring of the analyte is unnecessary. And an additional stirrer is not necessary for stationary measurements.

The second advantage of the microsensor compared to other H₂ sensors is the speedy response time of the AMT hydrogen microsensor with t_90% below 2 seconds compared with a minimum of approximately 30 to 120 seconds in the case of the conventional sensors.

The third advantage of the microsensor is based on the microsensor technology itself. The signal stability of amperometric hydrogen micro-sensors is essentially better. And the high local signal resolution allows some new applications, for instance, the profiling in μm-steps. Besides, measurements in soft sediments or muds also became practicable. But such measurements are at your own risk. Mechanical damage to the sensor tip is not covered by the guarantee.
