High levels of CO2 in a car aren't dangerous, but they can lead to drowsy driving and contribute to 10-30% of vehicle accidents.

CO2 monitoring serves as a vital tool for monitoring indoor air quality and preventing air-borne illnesses. We discuss GSS CO2 sensor solutions used specifically in monitoring indoor air environments. 

Calibration matches a sensor’s output to a known standard. Here are the 3 types of calibration we use for gas sensors.

                Experimenting with the SprintIR 60% CO2 Sensor A client was having trouble getting correct readings with our SprintIR 60% CO2 sensor. They were attempting to use the sensor to read exhaled carbon dioxide in an application similar to capnography, but were getting unexpected results.         To test the sensor, the client was breathing directly on the sensor and graphing the CO2 levels in real time using our GasLab® software. The software reported that the sensor peak readings were flat (see red lines). After verifying the sensor was not damaged, the client...

Analog and digital outputs from gas sensors are different. Know which one you need before you buy.
