 FOXY – Ocean Optics’ standard oxygen sensors designed for monitoring oxygen partial pressure
in gas and aqueous solutions. FOXY is a fiber optic fluorescence probe with proprietary oxygen-
sensing thin-film coating on the tip.
 HIOXY – Designed for monitoring oxygen partial pressure in nonaqueous vapors and solutions.
The sensor coating chemistry is compatible with oils, alcohols, and hydrocarbon-based vapors
and liquids.
 FOSPOR – A new generation of highly sensitive sensor coating for monitoring traces of oxygen
in gas and liquids.
See http://www.oceanoptics.com/products/probes.asp for more information on probes
available from Ocean Optics.
The NeoFox connects to a PC via USB connection and saves your data in an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel
format. NeoFox can be configured with single-channel LED excitation and detection, and modulation
frequencies to 100 kHz. The on-board pressure transducer measures atmospheric pressure.
Software
The NeoFox standalone module uses NeoFox Viewer software to display oxygen measurements on a
connected Windows XP PC. The NeoFox Sport can also use NeoFox Viewer software when connected to
a Windows XP PC, or it can be untethered from a computer and display some Oxygen measurements on
its OLED screen. See Chapter 4:
Using NeoFox Sport for more information on the functionality of the
NeoFox Sport.
Applications
Typical applications include the following:
 Bioprocess monitoring
 Environmental applications (such as waste water management)
 Life science
