Datasheet
SGX Liquid Electrochemical Gas Sensors
These SGX Sensors use a revolutionary innovation in electrochemical sensing, which detects the output
signals from the electrochemical reactions of different gases. Furthermore, it accurately measures gas
concentration through the magnitude of the signal. These specialised sensors consist of three catalytic
electrodes, liquid electrolyte and gas diffusion holes. Through the diffusion holes, the gas reaches the
sensor's working electrode, where an electrochemical reaction takes place at the so-called 3-phase
boundary. A current signal is generated at the output, which is linearly proportional to the gas concentration.

SGX Europe Sp. z o.o. sensors are designed to operate in a wide range of harsh environments and condi�ons. However, it is important that exposure to high
concentra�ons of solvent vapours is to be avoided, both during storage, fi�ng into instruments and opera�on. When using sensors on printed circuit boards (PCBs),
degreasing agents should be used prior to the sensor being fi�ed. SGX Europe Sp. z o.o. makes every effort to ensure the reliability of its products. Where life safety is
a performance requirement of the product, we recommend that all sensors and instruments using these sensors are checked for response to gas before use.
