Reliable Oxygen Detection for Safety and Performance
Alphasense offers a range of oxygen gas sensors designed for industrial safety, combustion analysis, and process control, suitable for both portable and fixed gas detection devices. These sensors vary by technology, compliance, lifetime, size, concentration range, and special features to meet diverse application requirements.
By Technology
Chose based on compliance, instrument lifecycle stage and application-specific needs.
Lead-Free Galvanic
RoHS-compliant, 2y life, zero-bias, fast response safety oxygen sensors. Drop-in replacements for A-sized, lead-based safety oxygen sensors – ideal for extending the lifecycle of
existing gas monitors and new instrument designs.
Lead-Free Amperometric
RoHS-compliant, long-life sensors for safety and process control. Great for new instruments.
·Lead-Based Galvanic
Proven technology with fast response and no bias requirements. Industry standard safety oxygen sensors.
Special Features
Tailored for unique integration or environmental challenges:
- O2-C2: Carbon cloth filter for combustion gases
- O2-G2: Space-saving ½ height design for wearables
- O2-A2Ni: Nickel pins for soldering
- O2-A2S | O2-A3S: No foam seal for custom sealing
By Lifetime
Choose based on expected instrument usage and maintenance cycles.
· 1-Year Sensors (2-pin, zero bias)
Ideal for high-sensitivity applications where sensitivity is more important than sensor lifetime.
· 2-Year Sensors (2-pin, zero bias)
Balanced performance and longevity for general industrial safety and portable instruments
