The use of digital SMD gas detectors can transform the development of capnography kits. For those unacquainted with capnography, this innovative process is a clinical method of measuring and monitoring the concentration (or partial pressure) of CO2 in the respiratory gases of patients. To detect CO2, capnography system manufacturers around the world rely on infrared gas sensors. 

Innovate UK is backing a technology breakthrough that puts Pyreos and Tethir, along with their academic partners, Imperial College London and King’s College London, at the forefront of the fight against wildfires. The grant of £500k from Innovate UK supports the development of the first widely deployable ultra-low power IoT sensor networks to detect forest fires for power companies.

Pyreos has announced the appointment of Ian Jenks as its new non-executive chairman with effect from the 28th May. He succeeds Howard Ford, who is leaving after seven years in the role. Ian’s appointment is the latest part of a long-term plan to increase international semiconductor and photonics experience on the board.

EPS Global has signed up to sensor supplier Pyreos’s pan-European distribution network.

Pyreos has announced that during the COVID-19 pandemic it is prioritising delivery of its infrared pyroelectric detectors to manufacturers of critical medical systems, particularly capnography systems and anaesthetic gas monitors.

A dual-channel SMD (surface mount) pyroelectric sensor – ezPyro SMD Dual has been released by Pyreos and prototypes will be displayed at the Sensor + Test 2019 exhibition and conference in Nuremberg (June 25-27).

Samples of the latest variant of its pyroelectric product ranges are available from Pyreos. The methane (CH4) product range has extremely high sensitivity to methane and related hydrocarbons and offers a fast, stable response over a wide operating frequency range.

Product announcements and recent advancements in its technology will be showcased by Pyreos at Sensor + Test 2019 in Nuremberg (June 25-27). Visitors to the Pyreos stand in Hall 5 stand 24 will be able to see three new product introductions.

Pyreos has announced that due to significant market growth, as well as major yield and cost improvements, it has reduced the volume price of its 128 pixel linear array product line by 50%. This is the steepest price reduction in the company’s history and enables customers to offer spectrometers for use in market segments previously considered too price sensitive for this high end technology. Pyreos linear array prices will now fall bel...

Pyreos has extended its distribution network with the addition of EQ Photonics, based near Munich, as its distributor in Germany. This delivers on a recent announcement of the expansion of distributor coverage as a key pillar to its growth strategy.

Manufacturer of miniature, rugged, pyroelectric, mid-infrared sensors, Pyreos, has expanded its sensor portfolio by 30% in response to growing demand from customers in a wide range of market sectors. The TO39-packaged pyroelectric infrared detectors offer high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fast response, high frequency operation, and high temperature stability.

  Manufacturer of tiny, rugged, pyroelectric, mid-infrared sensors and detectors with 157 patents in sensors and ATR spectrometry, Pyreos welcomes Ocean Optics to the growing list of customers using the Pyreos family of 128-element infra-red (IR) linear arrays.

The Sensor + Test exhibition in Nuremberg provided the platform for Pyreos to unveil its ezPyro TO flame sensor with a digital interface. It offers longer distance detection and an impressive field of vision exemplified by CEO Andrew Wallace using a lighter flame virtually sideways on from a distance of six feet and still drawing a response from the sensor.
