Chemical Sensor
Technology
The correct selection of Chemical Sensor Technology is essential to ensure that resources are well spent and that results obtained are to the highest standards as is expected of Scentroid. See below for our wide selection of Sensor technology, ensuring every project gets the thorough attention it deserves.

Laser Scattered
A tiny laser is flashed onto particles, which then radiates outwards in all directions within the sensor chamber. A light detector measures the scatter and determines concentration in air.
Metal Oxide Sensor
(MOS) Based on semiconducting metal oxides. Detects and measures gasses; combustible and pollution. Displays a lower influence of humidity, long term stability, & virtually no initialization time.
Electrochemical
(EC) sensors contain cells that convert information from electrochemical reactions into usable data. They measure concentration by oxidizing or reducing a target gas and measuring the resulting current.
PhotoIonization Detection
(PID) Measures volatile organic compounds and other gases in varying concentrations by breaking molecules into positively charged ions. This is done through UV energy photons in the sensor chamber.
Non Dispersion Infrared
(NDIR) Used to detect gas and measure concentration of carbon oxides. An infrared beam passes through a sampling chamber where each particle present absorbs the infrared light differently.
Geiger Radiation
Used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation through the use of Geiger-Muller tubes and data processing electronic components.
