eLichens Cranberry
CH4 & other hydrocarbons, CO2, R32 gas sensors
eLichens Cranberry Sensors (1 -Series Form Factor) are designed to detect and prevent hazard by sensing and monitoring the presence of Methane (CH4, 5% LEL) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in real-time. Offering two measurements per second, our sensors detect gas emissions as they happen and provide data on the development for a close and safe monitoring.
eLichens Cranberry gas sensors are the first 1-Series NDIR industry standard.
They are ATEX & IECEx certified and can be embedded into any compact portable safety device.

eLichens Mulberry
methane or CO2 in 4-Pin or 5-Pin
eLichens Mulberry sensors (4 Series - Form Factor) are advanced NDIR, dual channel gas sensors built in a 5-pin or 4-pin design. eLichens 4-series gas sensors are the industry standard for portable gas detectors.
They use our patented technologies, including a proprietary IR micro-source, patented optical design and advanced signal processing algorithms. It offers eLichens Mulberry sensors in a compact form factor with the lowest power consumption in the market. This ultra-low power is a key differentiator for creating an advanced safety device with battery power.
