PyroScience provides optical sensors for marine and aquatic markets.
PyroScience GmbH has reinforced its position as a provider of optical pH, oxygen and temperature sensor technology for industrial and scientific applications, including oceanic and coastal monitoring. The companys portfolio covers laboratory devices, underwater solutions and OEM components serving application fields such as oceanic pH measurements, underwater solution monitoring, respiration rates and coral studies, all of which are highly relevant to marine science and offshore environmental assessment. Within the marine and wider blue economy sectors, PyroScience systems are used to capture high resolution dissolved oxygen and pH data that support environmental baselines, benthic flux measurements and impact studies around marine infrastructure. Publications and customer references listed by the company highlight deployments in seafloor oxygen consumption studies and Mediterranean profiling work, indicating a growing footprint in observational oceanography and seafloor process research. The company, founded in 2011 and based in Germany, markets plug and play meters, fiber optic sensors, minisensors and microsensors that can be integrated in measurement frames, eddy covariance landers and autonomous platforms. These technologies are widely adopted by public research institutions and commercial operators needing robust sensing capabilities in demanding aquatic environments, from shallow coastal zones to deeper benthic sites.
Launch of Quick Order Channel to facilitate procurement.
In late 2025 PyroScience introduced a quick order function designed to simplify and accelerate procurement for existing customers. The new quick order form enables returning users to place orders for PyroScience products in a streamlined way, reducing administrative overhead and shortening lead times from request to shipment. This development is particularly relevant for laboratories, marine observatories and offshore contractors that rely on time critical spares and consumables such as sensor caps, calibration capsules and replacement fiber optic probes. By lowering transaction friction, the quick order platform supports continuity of long term monitoring campaigns and seasonal fieldwork windows typical in marine research, when tight mobilisation schedules require predictable logistics. For fleet operators managing multiple observatory sites or repeated survey campaigns, fast access to replacement optical oxygen and pH sensors reduces the risk of downtime during critical deployment periods. The quick ordering route also supports OEM customers who integrate PyroScience components into third party systems used in ports, coastal protection projects and offshore energy developments, where sensor availability can directly affect project timelines.
New insertion miniprobes extend semisolid and sediment applications.
PyroScience has expanded its product range with new insertable miniprobes for oxygen, pH and temperature measurements, targeting samples with pronounced micro heterogeneities. According to the company, the new miniprobes are optimised for measurements in semi solid matrices and are supplied with a cannula to facilitate insertion into such materials. The insertable pH miniprobe PHIMP500 PK6.5 is specified for a pH range from 5.5 to 7.5, enabling parallel and fast pH measurements in semi solid samples. This range is relevant for many marine and estuarine sediments, biofilms and organic rich deposits where slight departures from neutrality can have significant implications for biogeochemical processes and benthic community structure. To ensure true temperature compensation of dissolved oxygen and pH readings obtained with these insertable sensors, PyroScience has introduced the TPIMP500 temperature miniprobe. By measuring in situ temperature in close proximity to the oxygen and pH sensing sites, the TPIMP500 supports accurate correction of temperature dependent sensor responses. In marine applications, this combined approach can enhance the quality of porewater and sediment oxygen profiles, benthic flux measurements and assessments of diagenetic gradients, which are often central to environmental impact evaluations around coastal infrastructure and aquaculture operations.
Plan ahead for year end winter break and customer planning considerations
PyroScience has announced that its winter break in 2025 will run from 22 December 2025 until 2 January 2026. During this period, the company indicates that regular operations will pause, which has implications for order processing, technical support and shipment scheduling for its global customer base. For maritime research institutions, survey contractors and operators of permanent observatory platforms, the announced winter break timeframe is an important planning parameter. Users reliant on PyroScience optical sensors and accessories for year end or early year fieldwork are advised to align their procurement schedules to secure essential equipment and consumables ahead of the holiday shutdown. This is particularly relevant for campaigns in the Northern Hemisphere winter season, when vessel and ROV availability, weather windows and regulatory inspection slots may coincide with the companys closure period. Despite the operational pause, PyroScience emphasises that innovation in optical sensor technology remains a central focus. Its continuing development activities in microfluidics, underwater applications and multi analyte sensing position the firm as a key technology supplier to marine science and monitoring markets. As demand for high resolution oxygen and pH data grows in support of decarbonisation, ecosystem management and regulatory compliance, the companys recent product and service updates reflect ongoing alignment with evolving maritime data needs.
