Unique, flexible NO sensor

Designed for arteries, microvessels, in vivo applications, and similar applications.The graph (right) shows the response of the ISO-NOPF to NO.

Design

These sensors are based on a composite graphite NO-sensing element combined with a reference electrode. The surface of the sensor is then coated with a unique multi-layered NO-selective membrane.

Selectivity of WPI's NO sensors

The ideal NO sensor should be insensitive to other reactive species likely to be present within the measurement environment. Conventional Nafion coated carbon fiber NO sensor exhibits a large response to such species. WPI's unique NO sensor technology utilizes an novel surface membrane which amplifies the response to NO whilst eliminating responses to a vast range of reactive species, including nitrite, absorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, catecolamines, and much more.
