The NeoFox Sport handheld optical oxygen sensor measures dissolved and gaseous oxygen pressure in many environments. The sensor features the company's sol-gel coating—available in formulations for general laboratory use, high-sensitivity applications, and hydrocarbon-rich sample environments—embedded with an oxygen indicator that can be applied to patches or probes. Additional features include microprocessor-based electronics, onboard data logging, and analog and RS-232 connectivity for use with a PC.
