FaradaIC Sensors GmbH presents the first oxygen sensor based on MECS-Technology (technology for micro-electrochemical systems) at Sensor+Test 2024 for monitoring the atmosphere in food packaging (MAP or CAP). The sensor is calibrated to measure oxygen in the range of 0...3 Vol.% and simultaneously provides measured values for temperature and relative humidity, which are important in the food industry, food packaging and storage.

The Faraday-Ox module is the world's smallest oxygen sensor and for the first time enables high-volume production of electrochemical sensors using MEMS-like manufacturing processes. Dr. Ryan Guterman, founder of FaradaIC® Sensors GmbH, has succeeded in developing a solid electrolyte that can be connected directly with a chip for the first time. The subsequent electronics use patented algorithms to determine the exact oxygen concentration and supply the digital measured values to the desired control or evaluation system via a standard interface. The solid electrolyte does not dry out even at high temperatures of up to 85 degrees C and can be stored for several years. The tiny design delivers extremely fast measurement results.

FaradaIC offers a 2x2x1 cm small development system for oxygen measurement based on MECS technology (technology for micro-electrochemical systems) that provides all measurement data for oxygen, relative humidity, and temperature directly via the built-in USB interface. With the free software (web browser), the evaluation kit perfectly supports the development of packaging and logistics concepts. Other concentration ranges and gases are also available for other applications.
