FAQ

Still have questions? Get in touch with our team for precise answers and product-specific guidance.

What is the measurement principle?

Electrochemical gas detection on a chip with no liquids. This is achieved using MECS-Technology®.

What type of miniaturization is possible?

From MEMS-like components, to flexible labels/tags, MECS-Technology® is ideal for gas sensor miniaturization to nearly any form factor.

Where is oxygen detection most important?

Measuring oxygen is critical in food packaging, medical devices, logistics, safety, semiconductor, automotive, and many more applications. Faradaic is leading this transition to mass-scale monitoring of oxygen for the first time.

What are the operating ranges and power draw?

Our sensors measure oxygen in the %-range, relevant for food packaging applications, respiratory, and more. The sensor consumes mere microwatts of power; ideal for passive NFC applications and battery-powered devices.
