In its first ten years of tradingCambridge Sensotec has gonefrom strength to strength,developing into an internationalcompany with an establishedworldwide distributor networkand gaining ISO 9001accreditation. Initially thecompany specialised in zirconiasensors for measuring low ppmoxygen, particularly in vacuumapplications. Having diversified,the company now offers a largerange of portable and benchmounted analysers designed forheavy industry, research anddevelopment and are popularwithin university laboratories.The Rapidox 2100 and 3100series which succeeded theoriginal 2000 and 3000 range,first launched in 2001, are highly

Rapidox 1100 range of Oxygen Analysers

Rapidox 1100E

The Rapidox 1100E oxygenanalyser gives accurate oxygenanalysis over the oxygen range0 to 100% O2 with a resolutionof 0.01%. The Rapidox 1100Econtains a top-of-the-rangeYuasa electrochemical O2

sensor which has an estimatedlifetime of 5 years. Like all the1100 range the unit hasprogrammable alarm circuits,

programmable analogue outputs,easy calibration (user selectablegases), RS232 communicationsand complete communications /data-logging software.

Cambridge Sensotec’s budget range of O2 analysers

contains a German engineeredppm electrochemical oxygen cellwhich measures from 0.1ppm to1% O2. This analyser is mostsuitable when the user wants tomeasure O2 in a gas mixturecontaining VOCS, solvents,helium or fuels. All of the Rapidox1100 range of oxygen analysershave pumps with variable flowrate, can be supplied panelmounted and equipped with thegas inlets and outlets on the rearof the instrument.

Rapidox 1100L

The Rapidox 1100L is designedfor low range O2 analysis wherea traditional zirconia sensor maynot be suitable. The 1100L
