Overview
The compact USB-powered fiber-optic oxygen meter
FireStingO2
with 1, 2, or 4 channels unifies several innovative technological
improvements making it the new standard of high precision
oxygen sensing with fiber-optical oxygen sensors (optodes). The
FireStingO2
utilizes
a
measuring
principle
based
on
red light excitation and lifetime detection in the near infrared using
unique luminescent oxygen indicators (
REDFLASH technology
, see
Appendix 12.4 for more details). It is a multipurpose oxygen meter
•
enabling measurements in water as well as in gas phases,
•
working with fiber-based sensors comprising several size
classes like microsensors, minisensors, or robust probes,
•
working with contactless sensors like sensor spots, flow-
through cells or respiration vials, and
•
working with full range and trace oxygen sensors.
The
FireStingO2
has integrated atmospheric pressure and
humidity sensors for a precise and easy sensor calibration, but also
for
automatic
pressure
compensation
of
the
oxygen
measurements. Furthermore, the
FireStingO2
offers 4 analog
outputs and a built-in temperature port for an external
temperature
sensor
allowing
automatic
temperature
compensation of the oxygen measurement. If independent
temperature compensation for all oxygen channels is needed, a
USB-powered temperature extension module
TeX4
can be easily
fixed below the
FireStingO2
meter with a smart docking
mechanism. The user-friendly
Pyro Oxygen Logger
software
allows operation of several
FireStingO2
meters in parallel as a
multi-channel system.
Along with the
FireStingO2
we offer turnkey motorized
microprofiling setups for measurements of depth-profiles of
oxygen concentration in semi-solid environmental samples and
