Smart Q secondary sensor range

This sensor offers exceptional value as it performs a dual role. In Chemistry its primary role is as a drop counter measuring accurately the volume of titrant added during a titration. However, this sensor can be reassembled to monitor bubbles produced during gas production from either a chemical reaction or a biological process.

When operating as a drop counter, titrant is uniformly dripped from the supplied reservoir and optically recorded. If desired, the drops can be automatically converted to a volume measurement by following a simple calibration procedure.

As a bubble counter, the sensor counts optically the number of bubbles, from either a chemical or biological source, ascending through the plastic tubing.

This method is unique in that it accurately measures the range of gas production and is ideal for biological investigations

Applications:
Chemistry:
Acid-base Titrations with pH
Conductometric titrations with Conductivity sensor
Gas production - rates of reaction e.g. marble chips and acid.
Biology:
Fermentation
Yeast activity
