Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Gas Sensor with Module Output

Ethylene oxide (ETO) is a highly reactive and toxic gas commonly used in medical device sterilization and chemical manufacturing. Its vapors can cause human discomfort even at low concentrations and pose an explosion hazard. The primary function of an ethylene oxide gas sensor is to continuously monitor ETO concentrations in the environment, promptly detect leaks, and trigger alarms. This ensures personnel safety, prevents fire and explosion risks.

Common ethylene oxide gas sensors primarily employ electrochemical principles, measuring gas concentration through electrochemical reactions. They feature high sensitivity, rapid response times, and a wide detection range. For long-term fixed monitoring, they can be combined with infrared (NDIR) technology to enhance interference resistance and stability.

Ethylene oxide gas sensors are primarily deployed in medical device sterilization rooms within hospitals and laboratories, chemical plants, pharmaceutical production lines, and ethylene oxide storage/transportation areas. In these settings, sensors effectively monitor ETO concentrations, enabling operators to promptly implement ventilation, halt operations, or initiate emergency evacuations to mitigate occupational exposure risks.
