Description
Teledyneʼs patented* innovation
called INSTA TRACE ™ eliminates
the greatest inconvenience
associated with electrochemical oxygen
sensors at the trace level – the wait.
When a typical electrochemical trace
oxygen sensor is removed from its barrier
bag for the purpose of replacing an
expired sensor, it is exposed to ambient air
(209,000 ppm O2).
• No waiting
• No diverting product
• No switching analyzers
• No liquid backup
During this transition from an oxygen free environment to open air exposure, the sensorʼs electrolyte
becomes saturated with dissolved oxygen – and the longer the exposure, the longer the recovery time.
The typical recovery period when replacing a sensor is between 6 to 24 hours.
The INSTA TRACE Micro-fuel Cell oxygen sensor is capable of measuring below 1 ppm of oxygen
within 15 minutes of installation. By reducing the recovery period from several hours to just minutes,
users will no longer have to divert unanalyzed product, go to liquid back-up (in the case of the air
separation industry), or switch analyzers. The intrinsic value of this innovation has extreme significance
in plant operation.
Using Teledyneʼs Insta Trace
technology, meaningful readings
below 1 ppm are obtained in only
15 minutes.
