AIRSENSE - Model PEN3 - Portable Electronic Nose
Intelligent Chemical Sensor for identification of gases and vapours. The PEN, also called E-Nose, is our small, fast and robust identification system for gases and gas mixtures. The detection of the gases is performed with an array of gas sensors. Single compounds or mixtures of gases can be identified, after a training stage, by using the pattern generated from the sensors. Using various algorithms, the instrument is able to identify up to 10 different compounds, or provides a straightforward answer like 'Good-Bad', 'Yes-No' depending on the needs of the user. The instrument can also deliver a quantitative statement. Because of its particular sampling strategy our detector can be operated in the laboratory, or in mobile applications in the environment as well as online for process control applications.

Intelligent chemical sensor for identification of gases and vapours
PEN3 is based on a metal-oxide gas sensor array in a small measurement chamber.
Using a specific dilution technique protects the system from overloading with substances, which extended the life time of the sensors and the cycle times are shortened. By this gas-flow control to stabilize the pattern under varying concentrations and analytical conditions is possible.
Individual gases or gas mixtures are classified by their pattern and after a workout recognized. In this case, the unit provides a quick and simple quantitative answer as good or bad, yes or no ... .
Even qualitative answers can be given by training and comparison with the database. With its variety of pattern recognition algorithms allows the system to a broad range of applications - both in the laboratory, and industrial - are applied.
Process Control:
- dosage of spices in food production
- supervision of industrial cleaning processes,
- fermentation processes
- dosage of artificial odour in natural gas
