1. Product Advantages

• High Accuracy: Ensures excellent short-term and long-term accuracy through individual calibration.

• Fast Response Time: Provides rapid measurements in flow-through conditions.

• User-Friendly: Designed for ease of use with a "Plug & Play" principle.

• Long-Term Maintenance Interval: Requires maintenance only once every 12 months.

• Long-Term Deployment Capability: Built for extended continuous operational deployments.

• Complete Package Included: All required cables, connectors, and software are included.

• Proven Scientific Track Record: The underlying CONTROS HydroC® technology has a track record in peer-reviewed scientific publications.

2. Quality Detection

• Individual 'In-Situ' Calibration: All sensors are individually calibrated using a water tank that simulates the deployment temperature.

• Reference System Verification: A proven reference flow-through system is used to verify the $\text{CO}_2$ partial pressures in the calibration tank.

• Standard Gas Calibration: High-quality standard gases are used to calibrate the reference system before and after every sensor calibration to ensure high accuracy.

3. Product Parameters

• Detection Method: NDIR / IR absorption spectrometry via a custom-made thin-film composite membrane.
