BCP-H2 is ideally suited for use in the field of hydrogen production using algae.
Due to the measuring principle, the sensor is only suitable for binary, non-flammable gas mixtures and provides stable results here.
Like all BlueSens sensors, the sensor must not be used as a warning device or in ATEX zones.

The BCP-H2 is a cost-effective sensor that is particularly well suited for use in the field of hydrogen production by algae. The sensor uses the principle of thermal conductivity which means that it has cross sensitivities with other gases. The degree of cross sensitivities depends on the thermal conductivity of the other gases in the mixture. The sensor is therefore suitable for binary (non-flammable) gas mixtures, such as e.g. H2/CO2, H2/N2 and H2/Ar.
BCP-H2 can be connected to any size of cutur vessel. No matter if it is a shake flask or a (photo)bioreactor, it always fits thanks to the numerous mechanical connection possibilities.
All sensors of the BCP series are available with either aluminum or PA housing.
