OVERVIEW
The Unisense hydrogen microsensor is designed for research
applications within physiology, biotechnology, environmental sci-
ences, and related areas .
With the minute tip size, excellent response time, and good sen-
sitivity the Unisense hydrogen sensor facilitates reliable and fast
measurements with a high spatial resolution .
The Unisense hydrogen microsensor is a miniaturized Clark-type
hydrogen sensor with an internal reference electrode and a
sensing anode . The sensor must be connected to a high-sensitivity
picoammeter where the anode is polarized against the internal
reference . Driven by the external partial pressure, hydrogen from
the environment will pass through the sensor tip membrane and
will be oxidized at the platinum anode surface . The picoammeter
converts the resulting oxidation current to a signal .
