A QUARTER-CENTURY OF INNOVATION: ENGINEERING THE FUTURE OF GAS ANALYSIS
Generation. Each and Every Gas,” the range provides dedicated, portable solutions for traditional SF6, new alternatives like C4-FN and C5-FK fluoronitriles, and Clean Air. Most notably, the comprehensive‘ QU4D’ analyser can handle all insulating gases in a single, field-ready device. This empowers operators and engineers to maintain compliance, detect leaks, and ensure performance across their entire fleet, seamlessly bridging the gap between old and new technologies.
For any company in the technology sector, a 25-year anniversary is a significant milestone. It represents not only longevity and resilience but also a deep-seated expertise forged through decades of partnership with industry. As Cambridge Sensotec celebrates a quartercentury of advancing excellence in gas analysis, this milestone is not just a reflection on a successful past, but a launchpad for a future defined by innovation and responsiveness to the evolving needs of engineers and operations leaders. Today, this commitment is demonstrated by its solutions to the industry’ s most pressing needs, from the market-leading Rapidox 6100 range to the launch of the pioneering Rapidox 1100-OPT-MAX analyser.
Simultaneously, the company is redefining the standards of precision process control with the introduction of the Rapidox 1100-OPT-MAX, the world’ s first truly full-scale optical oxygen analyser. This breakthrough instrument uses dual optical sensors working in tandem to deliver unprecedented accuracy and stability across the entire measurement spectrum, from trace levels of 0.1ppm right up to 100 % oxygen. By eliminating the sensor drift and limited lifespan associated with traditional electrochemical sensors, this technology offers a dramatically lower lifetime cost of ownership and enhanced reliability in critical applications, from inert gas blanketing to advanced manufacturing and laboratory environments.
As Cambridge Sensotec marks its 25th year, these innovations are more than just new products; they are a testament to a legacy of listening to industry and a future dedicated to engineering the solutions that drive it forward.
First, in the electrical power industry, the transition away from the potent greenhouse gas SF6 is no longer a future prospect but an urgent reality. Regulatory pressures are mounting, and utilities must navigate a complex shift whilst maintaining grid stability and operational performance. This requires versatile tools that can manage both legacy SF6-filled assets and the new generation of greener alternatives. Answering this call, Cambridge Sensotec’ s versatile Rapidox 6100 range of zero-emission analysers is engineered for precisely this challenge. Under the principle of“ Every
