With the HP-GMS any O2 – CO2 – N2 – gas concentration can be mixed. The desired gas concentrations [%] for O2 and CO2 can be set – the remaining part to 100% will be supplemented with N2 – for example for the preselction of 20% O2 and 5% CO2, 75% N2 will be added.
As primary gass supply inexpensive O2, CO2, N2 pure gases are required.
Any desired concentration of precision gas is available immediately after setting, no waiting time – easy and immediate use of any gas concentration needed – no costly precision gas cylinders for each individual gas concentration necessary.
The ingenious mixing concept together with the microcontroller-controlled timing compensates primary and secondary pressure fluctuations to ensure maximum precision and stabilty.
For automated processes the HP-GMS can be controlled via Serial interface.

Aspects for Research – Development- Evaluation of Sensors
Determining the characteristics of gas sensors often requires many measurement series with various gas concentrations and intervals.
With external control of the HP-GMS by a Lab-PC, expermental data can be determined and recorded automatically.
This enables to collect any measurement points and repetitions for the determination of sensor -stability, -reproducibility, -interferences with high quality.
The combination of the HP-GMS with the TM8000 Film-Tonometer offers the perfect prerequisite for determining the characteristics of sensors in liquid media (like whole blood, bovine, aqueous based solutions …)
The most common applications are the development and QC of Blood Gas Systems – with the TM8000flex Film-Tonometer the temperature influences of blood gas parameters also can be determined precisely.
Another application for this setup is the evaluation of cross sensitivities and interferences of many other sensors – for example – evaluation of oxygen sensitivity of glucose sensors …
