The new MicroSENS CO₂ 0–20% C 180-HS-PFAS-free builds on the proven 180-HS platform and sets new standards for CO₂ measurement in incubators. With a more compact sensor head, significantly improved repeatability, and a PFAS-free design, it combines precision, ease of integration, and sustainability in a future-ready solution.

At first glance, an IR emitter product code may look like a random string of letters and numbers, hinting at size, power, or packaging. But at Micro-Hybrid, the code represents something much deeper. It encodes deliberate engineering choices - decisions about performance, environmental resilience, optical design, and long-term stability. The product code reflects a structured technology platform, not a random collection of variants.

NDIRsim makes NDIR design simple: visualize HITRAN-based gas absorption, check filter overlap, and predict signal vs. concentration and path length.

Calibration doesn’t have to be complicated: this quick guide shows how to set up reliable zero-point, clean-air, and span calibration for the MicroSENS 180-HS CO₂ sensor - plus practical recommendations on when recalibration makes sense.

Connecting People, Markets, and Applications

In sensors without ambient air pressure compensation, elevation and even daily changes in weather can distort readings.

Micro-Hybrid thermopile detectors, when combined with infrared (IR) emitters in Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) gas sensing and other applications can, in certain situations, offer significant advantages over systems that rely on pyroelectric detectors. These advantages stem from fundamental differences in detection principles, signal stability, and environmental robustness.
