Gas Sensors: calibration, testing
and development
Introduction
Monitoring ambient conditions is a fundamental feature providing
valuable data for both research and production applications. Any
basic or advanced experimentation, any standard or crucial step
in a production process demands a fine control over working
conditions, thus implying the need of a proper monitoring
apparatus. Along with temperature and pressure, the ability to
check the atmosphere composition becomes relevant since the
presence, absence or simply the amount modification of the gas
species can strongly affect the final result. For that reason gas
sensors are today a part of the essential equipment of many
research labs and production facilities, as well as common safety
devices for residential buildings.

Gas Blender 100 Series
Measurement devices like gas sensors require regular
maintenance to check and secure proper functioning. Standard
procedures usually involve testing and re-calibration of the
sensors, for which working atmospheres with specific composition
are needed. Creation, control and management of custom gas
mixtures can be easily achieved with the new MCQ professional
instrument: the Gas Blender 100 Series.
The Gas Blender 100 Series is also an incredible versatile tool for
the creation of brand-new gas sensors. The instrument is the
optimal choice for developing gas sensors dedicated to
applications with specific ambient measurement requirements, for
which standard sensors commercially available are not suitable.
Gas Sensors
There are many types of gas sensor commercially available, built
for different purposes and designed for specific applications. Gas
sensors can be divided in two main families, electrochemical or
spectroscopic, accordingly with their working principle.
