The PS-3208 wireless carbon-dioxide sensor quickly and easily measures carbon-dioxide gas levels, with temperature compensation for experiments in high-humidity environments. Overview: Measure changes in carbon dioxide (CO₂) quickly and easily with the wireless CO₂ gas-level sensor. With temperature compensation and operation in high humidity, it uses real-time data to make core laboratory experiments, such as photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and metabolism, more engaging and effective. The sensor stores more than 55000 data points, allowing investigations to continue overnight or throughout a weekend and making it ideal for long-term carbon-cycle studies. The included 250ml sample bottle supports analysis with multiple gas sensors. Clean the metabolism chamber with warm water and soap. Do not clean it by boiling, in a hot-cycle dishwasher, or in an autoclave, because the plastic will deform.
