About


Oxigraf is the leading manufacturer of laser absorption spectroscopy sensors for oxygen gas measurement and analysis. The Oxigraf laser diode oxygen analyzer offers the following advantages over other gas sensing technologies:
• Responds in tenths of a second compared to tens of seconds.
• Has no cross sensitivity to other gases.
• Corrects automatically for changes in gas pressure or temperature.
• Measures quickly over a dynamic range from 100 ppm to 100%.
• Has a very long life and requires no periodic replacement or service.
Oxigraf's unique hardware and firmware technology controls the laser diode and gas sample temperatures, scans and integrates the oxygen absorption, removes laser noise, measures the gas sample pressure, and computes the oxygen concentration. Oxigraf expertise relates to the design, assembly, burn-in, and test of laser diode, optical, gas sensor, and gas sampling assemblies. Eight key patents covering the laser gas sensor technology are licensed to Oxigraf.
The Oxigraf team includes employees and consultants with expertise in optomechanical and electronic engineering, software development, quality systems, and manufacturing. The team is led by Bruce W. McCaul, Ph.D., who has sixteen years of prior experience as CEO in two companies manufacturing laser spectroscopy systems, medical lasers, infrared detectors and noble gas arc lamps.
Oxigraf occupies a 5000 square foot facility in Sunnyvale, California, in the heart of the Silicon Valley. This location allows Oxigraf to tap the expertise and talent available in the high technology center for the USA. The Oxigraf facility includes equipment to assemble and test diode lasers and oxygen sensors. A complete engineering and support team is available in-house to work with customers and provide continuous product improvements and developments.
Oxigraf has a quality management system to meet the needs of its customers and to improve management of the company. The quality system complies with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System, the European quality system standard EN ISO 13485:2012 + EN ISO 13485:2012/AC:2012. It covers the design, production, and servicing of Oxigraf sensors.
