Recently, Nernst, a globally leading analytical instrument brand, officially launched its 7th generation embedded zirconia micro-oxygen analyzer—the Nernst N3100. This newly designed and manufactured analyzer delivers breakthrough solutions for high-precision oxygen control across vacuum welding, electronic chip manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields. Featuring an ultra-wide oxygen measurement range, ultra-fast response performance, and maintenance-free operation, it fills the technical gap in precision oxygen control processes for compact equipment.
As a core achievement in Nernst’s technological evolution, the N3100 embedded zirconia trace oxygen analyzer delivers comprehensive performance upgrades. Its oxygen measurement range spans 10⁻³⁰ to 100% oxygen content, providing real-time output of oxygen concentration (O₂%) within furnaces or flue ducts alongside 12 critical process parameters. This delivers data-driven insights for precise monitoring of oxygen conditions in production environments, particularly suited for high-precision manufacturing scenarios sensitive to oxygen levels.
Technologically, the N3100 incorporates a direct-plug quick-response zirconia sensor featuring proprietary laminated zirconia ceramic welding and fastening composite technology, significantly enhancing thermal shock resistance. Unlike conventional devices, this sensor requires minimal calibration with standard gases—environmental air suffices—reducing operational costs while ensuring long-term measurement accuracy and signal stability. Field testing confirms the sensor’s overall response time is under 100 milliseconds, with oxygen response as fast as 50 milliseconds. This rapid detection of oxygen fluctuations prevents process deviations caused by delays.
Addressing zirconia sensors’ stringent temperature requirements, the N3100 incorporates a dedicated heating assembly. Through the analyzer’s intelligent temperature control system, it precisely maintains the sensor’s operating temperature at 720°C, eliminating the impact of temperature fluctuations on detection performance and ensuring reliable operation across diverse conditions. Additionally, its “maintenance-free” design stands out as a key feature: the analyzer requires no periodic disassembly for maintenance, and sensors only need calibration based on actual usage needs. This significantly reduces equipment downtime and lowers operational costs for enterprises.
In terms of application scenarios, the N3100′s adaptability spans multiple high-value-added industries. These include vacuum welding furnaces, semiconductor manufacturing in the electronics industry, reflow soldering equipment, oxygen measurement in glove boxes, 3D printing, biomedical R&D, bright annealing furnaces for precision components, coating treatment equipment for high-strength alloy tools, and various process fields requiring compact oxygen control devices. Whether meeting the extreme oxygen-free environment demands of chip manufacturing or the sterile oxygen control requirements of biopharmaceuticals, the N3100 delivers stable, precise oxygen content monitoring support.
“The development of the N3100 has consistently focused on addressing industry pain points,” stated the Nernst product manager. “Traditional trace oxygen analyzers commonly suffer from slow response times, cumbersome maintenance, and poor adaptability. Through seven generations of technological iteration, we’ve achieved breakthroughs in sensor materials, temperature control systems, and structural design. This enables the easier implementation of high-precision oxygen control technology, helping enterprises enhance process stability and product yield rates.”
The Nernst N3100 embedded zirconia trace oxygen analyzer is now officially available on the market. Industry experts note that this product launch will further advance the miniaturization and precision of trace oxygen analysis technology, providing critical equipment support for industrial upgrades in electronics, biopharmaceuticals, and high-end manufacturing. It will also solidify Nernst’s technological leadership in zirconia analytical instrumentation.
