Underwater Oxygen Sensors
The ultra high-speed sensors are one of the fastest available with a <0.5 second response time for fast profiling applications or eddy covariance. They are also one of the most sensitive with a detection limit of 0.04 µg/L for measurement in oxygen minimum zones or in de-oxygenation events.
PyroScience optical oxygen sensors are available in various formats. Sensor caps for monitoring applications, fibre based sensors and ultra high speed sensors for eddy covariance measurement.
