Blog: 7 Ways to Use a CO2 Sensor!
Overview
Use this wireless sensor to measure the concentration of Carbon Dioxide gas in a closed system or open environment. Study core topics (including photosynthesis, respiration, and carbon cycling) with this versatile probe. CO2 data can be logged directly on the device for long term life science and environmental science studies.
- Measure CO2 uptake during photosynthesis in a terrarium
- Compare indoor vs. outdoor CO2 levels
- Study cellular respiration of yeast
- Conduct chemical reaction studies
Special Features
- Simplicity: just pair and go
- Variable sampling rate for capturing small fast changes or experiments that run for hours, days, or weeks.
- Features convenient Bluetooth wireless connectivity and long-lasting rechargeable battery
- Logs carbon dioxide gas data directly onto the sensor for long-term experiments.
Includes:
- Sensor
- 250-mL sampling bottle
- USB charging cable
Required Software:
PASCO products that use Bluetooth® 4 technology – wireless sensors, smart carts, and the AirLink Interface – require the latest versions of our software. PASCO Capstone 1.8.0;is available for Mac and Windows. SPARKvue 2.6.0is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Chromebooks.
Compatibility/System requirements
Any current model Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or Android phone will support direct connection to PASCO Bluetooth 4 devices.
Windows computers/tablets, Chromebooks and older Macs currently require the PS-3500 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter to connect to PASCO’s Bluetooth 4 devices.
Full compatibility details are available, including compatibility information for older computing devices.
Datalogging
Independent datalogging
Long term data collection directly on the sensor
In logging mode wireless sensors collect data to their onboard memory for hours, days, weeks or even months at a time without needing to be connected to a computer, tablet, Chromebook or smartphone.
When the experiment is concluded, simply connect the sensor to a device running PASCO software and download all the measurements it recorded.
