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
