Fibre-Optic Temperature Mini Sensors

The fibre-optic temperature sensors rely on thermal quenching of photoluminescence and are optimized for the innovative REDFLASH technology from PyroScience. The optical temperature sensors are characterized by extreme photo-stability, small size of the sensor tip (minisensors), ultra-fast response times (<0.1 s in water), and do not show interferences with gases (such as oxygen) and ionic species.

TPB430-SUB

• Bare fibre temperature minisensor
• Optical fibre 430µm in diameter
• Fast response time (<<1s)
• Measurement range 0°C – 50°C
• For true temperature compensation of OXB430-SUB
• With underwater SUB-connector (-SUB)

TPF1100-SUB

• Fixed fibre temperature minisensor
• Fixed sensor tip surrounded by needle
• Fast response time (<<1s)
• Measurement range 0°C – 50°C
• For true temperature compensation of OXF1100-SUB
• With underwater SUB-connector (-SUB)

Insertable Temperature Miniprobe

The insertable temperature miniprobe is composed of a black fibre-optic cable, 1 metre in length with an ST plug for connection to the optical FireSting-O2 or FireSting-PRO meter. The bare polymeric fibre is more robust than the optical fibre of our standard bare fibre sensors. The sensing tip with a diameter of 500µm is located at the very end of a bare optical fibre. Each packaging unit contains 2 insertable temperature miniprobes and 2 intravenous cannulas for insertion into semi-solid samples. This sensor is perfectly suited for temperature compensation of measurements with insertable oxygen and pH miniprobes and for temperature measurements in semi-solid samples and integration into custom housings.
The fibre-optic temperature sensors rely on thermal quenching of photoluminescence and are optimized for the innovative REDFLASH technology. The optical temperature sensors are characterized by extreme photo-stability, small size of the sensor tip (minisensors), ultra-fast response times (<0.1s in water) and do not show interference with gases (such as oxygen) and ionic species.
This sensor is specified for the range of 0 to 50°C. Measurements at higher temperatures are possible, but the sensor specifications are not valid for temperatures out of this range.
Typical response times for 90% signal change (T90) in water and gas: <0.3 s. Measured for the transition from air into a stirred solution of 1% Na2SO3.
The Star sensor is one of the world’s best featuring a very fast response time, solvent resistance and a unique sensor format.

Robust Temperature Sensors

The fibre-optic temperature sensors rely on thermal quenching of photoluminescence and are optimized for the innovative REDFLASH technology from PyroScience. The optical temperature sensors are characterized by extreme photo-stability, small size and do not show interferences with gases (such as oxygen) and ionic species.

Temperature Sensor Spots

Temperature sensor spots allow temperature measurements in closed sample containers with contactless read-out through a transparent window (glass, acryl glass) with special adapters and optical fibres for fibre-optic meters from PyroScience. In combination with optical oxygen and pH sensor spots, they enable true temperature compensation of these sensors for precision measurements in closed incubations.

TPSP5-ADH-STER

• Self-adhesive sensor spots for easy integration
• Sterilized using 25kGy beta-irradiation
• Measurement range 0°C – 50°C
• For true temperature compensation
• Works in gas and in liquids

Temperature Vials

Based on the contactless sensor technology, PyroScience offers ready assembled vials with integrated sensor stripes for all supported analytes. The glass respiration vials have screw caps with a septum, and are available with ca. 20mL (uncalibrated) volume. Adapter rings allow an easy fixation of optical fibres for read-out with optical meters from PyroScience for incubations in closed vials. The elongated shape of the sensor spots allows also measurements at different heights within the vial using several fibres/adapter rings in parallel.

PHTOVIAL20-PK8

• 20 ml vial with integrated pH, temperature and oxygen sensor
• Diameter / height: ca. 28 mm / ca. 61 mm
• Measurement range pH 7.0-9.0
• Measurement range temp 0°C – 50°C
• True temperature compensation

Flow-Through Temperature Cells

This flow-through cell (PU=4 pieces) has an integrated optical temperature sensor for contactless temperature measurements of aqueous samples pumped through the cell. The cell consists of a Luer-lock T-Connector with a removable optical temperature probe. The Luer-lock connectors allow direct connection of tubing with 3.2 or 4.8 mm inner diameter.
