Is now a good time to switch to simplified, low-cost equipment for your quality control needs?
TecSense GmbH has released the SGA series, a new line of handheld oxygen sensors designed for fluid, packaging, and welding applications. These devices utilize optochemical sensing technology to provide an economical alternative to the existing TEC-PEN series.
Why it matters
The SGA series offers portable, high-resolution monitoring for industrial environments requiring specific oxygen levels. By replacing onboard storage with computer-managed data, the system prioritizes mobility and cost-effectiveness for quality control workflows.
The SGA series spans three models: SGA Fluid measures 0 to 2000 ppb with 1 ppb resolution, SGA MAP covers 0 to 5 percent with 0.001 percent resolution, and SGA Weld measures 0 to 200 ppm with 1 ppm resolution.
The players
TecSense GmbH
A developer of specialized sensor hardware focusing on optochemical gas measurement technology.
AMS Instrumentation
A distributor of industrial measurement equipment serving markets in Australia and New Zealand.
The details
The devices employ optochemical oxygen sensing, where a light source excites a fluorescent dye to detect oxygen concentration. The sensors are built for field use, featuring a lightweight chassis, an integrated display, and one-button operation. Unlike earlier systems, these units offload data processing and management to external computers rather than using onboard storage.
Timeline

The Tech Race
TecSense GmbH is refining its sensor portfolio to compete with established high-precision monitoring tools like the TEC-PEN series. This release prioritizes mobile industrial deployment over the fixed-capacity architectures found in previous generations.
Operators in fluid, packaging, and welding sectors can now access mobile sensing tools that integrate with existing computer data management workflows. Users requiring technical support or procurement information can contact AMS Instrumentation.
The takeaway
The SGA series shifts oxygen sensing toward lighter, computer-managed field devices for industrial teams. Users can evaluate these tools for their specific calibration needs by calling AMS Instrumentation at 03-9017 8225.
