CO2 test probe DP-CD1

The CO2 dipping probe DP-CD1 is an optical sensor based on a 2 mm polymer optical fiber. The end of the probe is covered in a high-grade steel tube. It is the solution for invasive measurements and monitoring of dissolved CO2. Online monitoring Measurement range from 10 - 250 hPa pCO2 (8 ... 180 mmHg) No consumption of carbon dioxide Measures carbon dioxide in liquids APPLICATIONS Scientific: Carbon Dioxide Monitoring for Biological Applications Increased CO2 uptake from the atmosphere caused by anthropogenic sources is believed to cause ocean acidification, with not yet foreseeable effects on marine life and ecosystem. Monitoring pCO2 in experimental set-ups simulating future levels of carbon dioxide can help to gain knowledge on the effects of ocean acidification on marine fauna. Besides the marine application, monitoring pCO2 also allows knowledge to be gained on land-based plant physiology. Monitoring pCO2 helps increasing yield during aquaculture of fish (fish farming) by providing convenient growth conditions. Excess carbon dioxide levels need to be monitored as this leads to hyperventilation of sea animals.
