Cambridge CMOS Sensors has announced a new sensor to detect alcohol, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds.

Cambridge CMOS Sensors, spun out of Cambridge University, has launched its range of low-power and small sensors.

The range offers three distinct devices: the first one, CCS801, monitors a range of gases to analyse air quality. CCS802 detects carbon monoxide, while CCS803 is a sensor that identifies ethanol (pure alcohol). Any one of the sensors come packaged in a surface mount device the size of 2 by 3 by 1 millimetres and developed by glass specialist Ase Europe. The spin-out’s…
