Nitric Oxide Sensor - 2mm

ISO-NOP

Prices valid in USA, Canada, and PR only.

The original nitric oxide probe - ideal for cell cultures, cell suspensions and many other applications

The ISO-NOP is a popular, robust and high performance sensor encased within a 2 mm diameter disposable stainless steel protective sleeve. The tip of the sleeve is covered with a NO-selective membrane. Replacement membrane sleeves can be  purchased separately (WPI #5436) and require an internal electrolyte (WPI #7325).

A simple change in experimental protocol enables the ISO-NOP to be conveniently used for indirect rapid accurate determination of nitrite (NO–2) and nitrate (NO–3) concentration in samples. Using this method a detection limit for NO–2 or NO–3 as low as 1 nM is routinely possible.

Selectivity of WPI's NO sensors

The ideal NO sensor should be insensitive to other reactive species likely to be present within the measurement environment. Conventional Nafion coated carbon fiber NO sensor exhibits a large response to such species. WPI's unique NO sensor technology utilizes an novel surface membrane which amplifies the response to NO while eliminating responses to a vast range of reactive species, including nitrite, absorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, catecolamines and much more.
