Solutions Driven by Collaboration

At Gems we are less interested in selling you a part than in collaborating with you to develop the ideal solution to your fluidic system needs. Our entire organization is prepared to work with you from concept development through feasibility, design, pre-production and production to develop a product and process that integrates seamlessly into your final product.

A History of Product Innovation

ExOsense Piezo-Resonant Liquid Level Sensors

The new ExOsense is the first and only affordable, non-intrusive liquid level sensor for plastic fluid containers. ExOsense sensors adhere to the outside of plastic tanks/bottles and are unaffected by the color or transparency of the plastic. Liquids inside the bottle are untouched, so with Exosense there is no issue of material compatibility or contamination. Best of all, ExOsense sensors fit any size and shape vessel, from small bottles, to large tanks.

The Exosense features a peel-and-stick adhesive face that can be affixed anywhere on the outside of the tank to provide high, low or any intermediate point level fluid sensing. A detachable USB type mini-cable feeds the solid-state switch unit.

The ExOsense is ideal for use on Hematology, Immuno-chemistry, Histology, Medical Laser Systems, Hemodialysis and Cytology equipment to monitor reagents, waste, diluents, detergent/wash, dialysate, coolant and sterile water. For More Information
