β¦ Synopsis
The effect of the oxygen content in tin oxide films on selectivity in gas detection has been studied. The experimental results
show that sensors with different Sn:O ratios exhibit different behaviour in response to CO and ethanol. A theoretical explanation of this phenomenon is presented, which is based on the density of oxygen vacancies at the surface. Moreover, a simple parametric method using three sensors with different Sn:O ratios has been tested to distinguish between CO and ethanol.

The sensitivity of a membrane-covered oxygen gas sensor under the influence of gas flow has been tested experimentally. As the oxygen sensor is placed in different positions relative to the air-pump and gas flow meter, the effect of gas flow-rate on the response of the sensor is notable. By choosing
## Abstract Data presented herein show that the film thickness of a polar stationary phase, SPβ2380, affects column selectivity under isothermal analysis conditions. The expected linear relationship between film thickness and solute capacity factors (k), as predicted by the partition coefficient eq
