General Description:
The NE4-HCHO-S is an electrochemical gas sensor with 3 electrodes for the detection of Formaldehyde (CH2O) in the range 0-10 ppm, resolving down to a lowest detectable limit of 0.02 ppm (working together with high quality electronics and software), in a variety of industrial and commercial gas detection applications.
Exhibiting high performance with long-term stability, this compact (20.4mm dia) sensor is suitable for portable Gas Detection Instruments or Fixed Gas Detection heads.
​
Nemoto's porous electrode technology enables accurate gas detection with high sensitivity. The mechanical design of the sensor gives optimum gas diffusion characteristics, and the hermetically sealed enclosure prevents costly electrolyte leakage.
