2015-03-10· The sensor generally has adequate amount of oxygen to run for several hours in anaerobic conditions. Cross-Sensitivity and Temperature Effects. Like other electrochemical sensors, SGX toxic electrochemical sensors may respond to gases other than the target gases due to oxidation or reduction of the gases on the working electrode.

Cross Sensitivity. For some gases such as ethylene oxide, cross sensitivity can be a problem because ethylene oxide requires a very active working electrode catalyst and high operating potential for its oxidation. Therefore gases which are more easily oxidized such as alcohols and carbon monoxide will also give a response. Cross sensitivity problems can be eliminated though through the use of ...

Electrochemical sensors are widely used in the medical sector. For example, to monitor the concentration of glucose in the blood of diabetic patients, a glucometer (glucose meter) is used. In this case, the disposable test strips are the electrochemical sensors. Figure 1 illustrates the carbon monoxide and the glucometer test-strip sensors ...

Many electrochemical sensors incorporate a filter into the housing to limit the exposure from interfering gases. These filters have a limited capacity that is typically rated in ppm-hours. Figure 1 shows the filter capacity from one particular carbon monoxide sensor. 1. The greater the exposure to the interfering gas, the weaker the filters will get and the quicker they will wear out. This ...
2014-10-30· Cross sensitivity is a sensor’s reaction to other gases which can “interfere” with how the sensor reacts. Exposing a sensor to a gas that is not the target gas can cause an undesirable effect; this may be a positive response, negative response or inhibition. Positive Response A positive response means that sensors respond to not just the target gas but to another gas as well. This ...

2018-05-01· Ideally, a user would want a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor to only read carbon monoxide, but there are other gases that can generate readings on this sensor. This is just one example of many cross interferences. We can slow this reaction down with the use of filters on the sensors, but yet again, it does not eliminate the reaction. At this time, there is not a perfect technology that can filter ...

2018-07-23· A nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) sensor would only detect NO 2 and a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor would only detect CO and so on. While electrochemical sensors are designed to be as specific as possible, most will respond in some manner to gasses other than the target gas. This is called “cross-sensitivity” and is a result of the interfering gas also reacting on the sensor electrode. In some cases ...
CROSS-SENSITIVITIES IN ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS Many toxic gas sensors available today utilize electrochemical sensing elements. Electrochemical sensors deploy a positive and negative electrode that generate current, much like a battery, only when a particular chemical reaction occurs with the specified gas.
Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cross-Sensitivities Alcohols, VOCs & Hydrogen Technical Bulletin Cross-sensitivity to gases other than the target gas of interest is a common sensor characteristic, especially among electrochemical sensors.
