Wireless CO2 Sensor - PS-3208

Use this wireless sensor to measure the concentration of Carbon Dioxide gas in a closed system or open environment. Study core topics (including photosynthesis, respiration, and carbon cycling) with this versatile probe.

CO₂ data can be logged directly on the device for long term life science and environmental science studies.

New Accessory: The Dissolved Water Proof CO₂ Sleeve (PS-3545) shields the sensor from water, but is permeable to CO2 allowing for measurements of dissolved carbon dioxide levels. This PASCO exclusive opens up new applications for this carbon dioxide sensor.

Typical Applications

Measure CO₂ uptake during photosynthesis in a terrarium
Compare indoor vs. outdoor CO₂ levels
Study cellular respiration of yeast
Conduct chemical reaction studies

Special Features

Simplicity: just pair and go
Variable sampling rate for capturing small fast changes or experiments that run for hours, days, or weeks.
Features convenient Bluetooth wireless connectivity and long-lasting rechargeable battery
Logs carbon dioxide gas data directly onto the sensor for long-term experiments.

Required Software:

PASCO products that use Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity (wireless sensors, Smart Carts, and the AirLink) require the latest versions of our software.

PASCO Capstone is available for Mac and Windows. SPARKvue is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and Chromebooks.

Additionally, the Wireless Motion Sensor and Wireless Smart Carts can be connected via Bluetooth and used with our MatchGraph app.

Compatibility/System Requirements

Any current model Chromebook, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or phone will support direct connection to PASCO Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Also, any Windows 10 device with Creators Edition 1703 or later will support direct connection.

Chromebook users MUST have the latest firmware updates for ALL wireless sensors in order to use them without the USB Bluetooth Adapter. Full information.

All other Windows computers/tablets, older Macs, and Chromebooks without updated sensor firmware currently require the PS‑3500 USB Bluetooth Adapter to connect to PASCO’s Bluetooth Low Energy devices.

Full compatibility details are available, including compatibility information for older computing devices.

Independent datalogging

Long term data collection directly on the sensor

In logging mode wireless sensors collect data to their onboard memory for hours, days, weeks or even months at a time without needing to be connected to a computer, tablet, Chromebook or smartphone.

When the experiment is concluded, simply connect the sensor to a device running PASCO software and download all the measurements it recorded.
