Sensitive, Selective Ozone Detection for Safety and Air-quality Monitoring


Ozone (O3) is a powerful oxidizing gas used in industrial processes while also posing health risks at low concentrations. Accurate ozone monitoring is essential for worker safety, environmental compliance, and air-quality assessment. Alphasense ozone sensors offer electrochemical solutions tailored to different sensitivity and interference requirements.

Sensor Product Overview


Portable and Fixed Instruments


  • O3-AH – Ozone Sensor
    The O3-AH sensor is optimized for ozone measurement in applications where high sensitivity and fast response are required. It is commonly used in industrial safety monitors and environmental instruments.

  • OX-A431 – Ozone and Oxidant Sensor
    The OX-A431 measures both ozone and nitrogen dioxide, and when paired with an NO2-A43F sensor, provides improved selectivity to ozone, reducing interference from other oxidizing gases. This makes it suitable for air-quality monitoring and controlled industrial environments.

  • OX-B431 – Ozone and Oxidant Sensor
    The OX-B431 responds to both ozone and nitrogen dioxide, and when paired with NO2-B43F, offers an O3, NO2 and combined oxidant measurement. It is often used in air-quality applications where total oxidant levels are of interest.

Choosing the Right O3 Sensor by Application


Industrial Safety & Ozone Generation


  • O3-AH for direct ozone monitoring near generators or treatment systems.

Air-quality Monitoring


  • OX-A431 for ozone-specific measurement when paired with NO2-A43F.

  • OX-B431 where combined oxidant trends are acceptable or desired, or use with NO2-B43F for ozone and nitrogen dioxide specific measurements.

Key Benefits Across the O3 Sensor Portfolio


  • High sensitivity at low ppb/ppm levels
  • Options for ozone-specific or oxidant-responsive measurement
  • Compact formats for portable and fixed systems

Why OEMs Choose Alphasense?


OEMs value the application-specific selectivity options and proven electrochemical performance Alphasense provides across its ozone sensor range. Common A-series and B-series formats facilitate design and integration.

How O3 Sensors Work?


Electrochemical ozone sensors generate a current when ozone reacts at the sensing electrode. The magnitude of this current is proportional to ozone concentration.

Why Measure Ozone Gas?


Ozone monitoring protects:

  • Workers exposed to ozone-based processes
  • Occupants in indoor environments
  • Outdoor air-quality compliance and reporting
