Sensor array details in PEN3 electronic nose device, as reported in the menu of options of the e-nose software.
Sensor | Main Gas Targets |
---|---|
W1C | Aromatic organic compounds. |
W5S | Very sensitive, broad range sensitivity, reacts to nitrogen oxides, very sensitive to negative signals. |
W3C | Ammonia, also used as sensor for aromatic compounds. |
W6S | Detects mainly hydrogen gas. |
W5C | Alkanes, aromatic compounds, and nonpolar organic compounds. |
W1S | Sensitive to methane. A broad range of organic compounds detected. |
W1W | Detects inorganic sulfur compounds, e.g., HS. Also sensitive to many terpenes and sulfur-containing organic compounds. |
W2S | Detects alcohol, partially sensitive to aromatic compounds, broad range. |
W2W | Aromatic compounds, inorganic sulfur and organic compounds. |
W3S | Reacts to high concentrations of methane (very selective) and aliphatic organic compounds. |
