Our high-performance zero-drift acrylic oxygen sensor patches (AP series) are designed for non-invasive monitoring of oxygen in gases and dissolved oxygen in non-organic and biological liquids (water, blood, … ).
FMI's patches are installed inside transparent containers on a small portion of them prior to filling. Measurements are achieved by using our reflection probe attached to the DOPO2 or by using DOPO2 directly.
We provide oxygen patches in a variety of sizes (OD) and on different materials including polymer and glass substrates.
Our patches are provided with different overcoating:
1- With no overcoating with response time (t90) of about 1 Sec
2- With a white acrylic overcoating for reflected signal enhancement with response time (t90) about 1 min.
3- With black acrylic overcoating to protect the sensor from UV, ambient light, environmental effects, and biofouling, with a response time of about 1 min.
They are available in various outer diameters: 0.25" (6.35 mm), 0.5"(12.7 mm), 20 mm, 3" and custom diameters are available per customer request.
And they are available in three different thicknesses: 0.003" (0.076 mm) thick flexible patch, 0.03" (0.76 mm) and 0.06" (1.52 mm) thick patch
Applications:
-
- Oxygen measurement in single-use bioreactor bags
- Food and beverage industry: Oxygen permeation in PET bottles
- Bioprocesses: real-time, non-invasive monitoring of oxygen and dissolved oxygen in bioreactors
These patches are pre-calibrated with a known calibration coefficient and slope (using DOPO2 EOM). Pack of 5
