Sensors

Sensor

A sensor is a device that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics. They are used in everyday objects and have expanded into various fields such as temperature, pressure, and flow measurement. Sensors can vary in sensitivity and can be manufactured on a microscopic scale for faster measurement time and higher sensitivity. Disposable sensors have also gained importance for rapid and reliable information without the need for recalibration or contamination concerns.
