Product Summary
The Carbon Dioxide Gas Sensor has a dynamically broad range, allowing it to measure a variety of subjects, including germinating peas (10K ppm), human breath (50K ppm), automotive exhaust (80K ppm), and more. Best of all, it's user-friendly and calibrates with the push of a button.
Applications
- Measure CO2 uptake during photosynthesis in a terrarium
- Compare indoor vs. outdoor CO2 levels
- Study cellular respiration in yeast
- Conduct chemical reaction studies
- Conduct qualitative comparisons of carbon dioxide concentrations up to 300,000 ppm.
