A pressure probe for detecting clathrates includes a probe wall defining an inside area. A window is arranged in the probe wall. A device including a circuit board having a surface is arranged below the window. A permittivity sensor and temperature sensor are arranged on the surface of the circuit board and in thermal contact with each other and with a temperature control device. An insulating layer is disposed on the surface of the circuit board over the permittivity sensor and the temperature sensor. The window includes a part of the insulating layer.

Pressure probe for detecting clathrates and the use thereof

In a sensor on the basis of surface wave components disposed in a housing with at least one surface wave component, a fluid channel and conductors for high frequency signals, the conductors are connected to coupling capacitors with capacitive coupling surface areas which are arranged opposite each other on the housing and the surface wave equipment and closely adjacent one another so that high frequency signals can be transmitted to, and from, the surface wave components.

Sensor based on surface components with capacitative coupling of the high frequency connections

In a dextran coated surface disposed on a carrier, the connections between the dextran and the carrier surface are formed by a photolinker, the dextran coating being attached to the carrier surface by co-immobilization of a mixture of dextran and the photolinker.

Dextran-coated surface

In a mass-sensitive sensor consisting of an acoustic surface wave component on the basis of shear waves, the sensor includes a substrate with an active surface carrying two different layers, one which is a parylene layer of a thickness of between 0.2 and &#x3c;1.6 &#x3bc;m, which has been produced on the substrate by a vacuum-based deposition method and is capable of generating Love waves and the second layer forms a utilization layer, which interacts with an analyte disposed in a medium contacting the utilization layer.

Mass-sensitive sensor

In a method for producing surface wave sensors on the basis of a surface wave building component a polymer parylene film with a thickness of 20 to 200 nm is applied to a hydrophilic sensor surface of the surface wave building component by deposition from the gas phase, whereby the hydrophilic sensor surface becomes hydrophobic, the surface is then subjected to plasma activation to render it hydrophilic and a hydrophilic sorption polymer layer is then applied to the parylene film so as to provide a surface wave sensor with a homogenous sorption polymer layer.

Method for producing surface acoustic wave sensors and such a surface acoustic wave sensor

In a sensor comprising a housing, through which a medium to be examined is conducted, the housing includes at least two passive building components capable of oscillating and oscillator circuits of which each includes an amplifier component and a variable phase shifting component providing for a phase shift range sufficiently large to switch the oscillating components off while the amplifier component remains operating.

Surface acoustic wave sensor

In a gas sensor comprising a housing and having driver and amplifier circuits the housing has a bottom part with at least four cavities arranged in radial symmetry around a central gas admission space from which gas admission passages of the same shape and size extend radially outwardly to the various cavities for supplying gas to be measured to surface wave components of which one is disposed in each of the cavities and the cavities have discharge passages extending outwardly and having all the same gas flow resistance for the discharge of the gases from the housing cavities.
