Pressure Sensors

Immediately detect blockages and mitigate risk before important samples are compromised with modular pressure sensors from IDEX Health & Science. The PS200 pressure sensor allows you to continually monitor system pressures for reliable instrument operation up to 200 psi (13bar). The fully isolated MEMS sensing element reacts instantly to pressure changes in your fluidic pathway, offering precise pressure monitoring and tight control over your fluidic operations.

Our fully swept pressure sensors, provide real-time insights into pressure changes—ideal for both application optimization and instrument diagnostics. Low internal volume and a fully swept inline fluid pathway ensure that the sensor will not disrupt your analytical performance.

How Our Pressure Sensors Work:

A fully isolated MEMS sensing element reacts instantly to physical pressure changes of the fluid transmitted through a gel-filled cavity. Signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion, and I2C are provided by onboard electronics.
