How The PM700 Paramagnetic Analyzer Measures Oxygen Following The Newly Released USP37 Medical Gas Standard

With more than 30 years experience in oxygen analysis and moisture measurement, Systech Illinois provide efficient gas analysis solutions to a diverse range of industries worldwide.

Medical Gas standard USP37 was released earlier this year, and it requires a specific, selective and positive identification test using a paramagnetic signal.

Regular analysis of medical gas is required to ensure that the oxygen concentration is NLT 99.0% volume. Following the appropriate United States Pharmacopeia standards, in this case specifically USP37, requires an analyzer which uses a paramagnetic based technology. Systech Illinois are pleased to announce that their paramagnetic PM700 oxygen analyzer is ideally suited for this medical gas analysis application.

The technology required for this standard has a paramagnetic sensor which utilizes the paramagnetic susceptibility of oxygen, a physical property which distinguishes oxygen from most other gases. The sensor incorporates two nitrogen-filled glass spheres mounted on a rotating suspension. This assembly is suspended in a strong magnetic field. The oxygen in the surrounding gas is attracted to the magnetic field, resulting in a force on the glass spheres. The strength of the torque acting on the suspension is proportional to the oxygen content of the surrounding gases.

Utilising the well proven magneto-dynamic (dumb bell) transducer, the PM700 offers high performance oxygen analysis. It incorporate user-friendly software to provide accurate and reliable results with a non-depleting sensor providing years of trouble free operation.
