The storage of electrochemical gas sensors

Point 1. Sensors must not be stored for more than six months and must be stored in a sealed container at 0-20°C in clean environment.

Point 2. Sensors should not be stored or used in environments with liquid vapors and organic vapors, as these environments will degrade their performance.

Point 3. The sensor should not be stored or used in environments with concentrated liquids (such as oils or solvents), as these can clog the air holes, restrict gas flow to the sensor, and weaken the signal. If the sensor is exposed to concentrated gas, gently dry it with a piece of soft absorbent paper before re-operation. Under no circumstances should the sensor be dried at temperatures exceeding 40°C.

Point 4. In general, sensors can be stored in an office environment with a temperature not exceeding 30°C and a humidity range of 50% to 90%.

Point 5. For dedicated storage, sensors can be kept in a freshness box or refrigerator (if acceptable), while a drying cabinet is not recommended. When placing sensors in either the freshness box or refrigerator, seal them to effectively prevent environmental moisture from entering the container due to frequent opening and closing, which could cause condensation and block the sensors' air holes.
