In the world of gas detection, efficiency, reliability, and performance are paramount—especially in hazardous environments. NevadaNano’s MPS™ 6.0 Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Flammable Gas Sensor takes gas detection technology to new heights, offering unmatched accuracy and power efficiency. Here’s how the MPS™ 6.0 is revolutionizing the industry.
Reduced Power Consumption with TrueLEL™ Multi-Gas Detection
One of the standout features of the MPS™ 6.0 is its ultra-low power consumption. Building on the success of its fifth-generation predecessor, the MPS™ 6.0 reduces power consumption by a remarkable factor of 20—down to just 1.35 mW at 3V without compromising the highly accurate multi-gas detection you’ve come to expect from MPS™ sensor technology. This makes the MPS™ 6.0 the lowest power Hydrogen sensor in the world, ideal for conserving energy resources in gas safety devices. When compared to traditional Pellistor sensors, the MPS™ 6.0 delivers a power improvement of up to 75 times, making it an unparalleled choice for energy-conscious gas detection needs. While NDIR sensor technology does offer some very low-power options, they have significant limitations. For example, transient environmental conditions such as humidity, fog, and ambient IR light can cause interference causing gas readings to be inaccurate.

Want to Know How the MPS™ Sensor Stacks Up Against NDIR and Pellistor Sensors?
Discover how the MPS™ sensor outperforms traditional gas detection technologies like NDIR and Pellistors in terms of accuracy, multi-gas detection, power efficiency, and safety certifications.
Highly Accurate and Rapid Detection
The MPS™ 6.0 Flammable Gas Sensor is engineered for precision. With the ability to detect over a dozen of the most common combustible gases, including Hydrogen, the sensor provides industry-leading accuracy. This includes TrueLEL™ technology, which ensures precise gas classification across multiple gases with a single factory calibration. Unlike other sensors that require frequent field calibration, the MPS™ 6.0 does not require field calibration for the lifetime of the sensor, saving time and money on ongoing maintenance.
The sensor’s fast start-up time—just 34 seconds after powering on—coupled with a quick response time of less than 20 seconds (T90), ensures that your system can detect gas leaks quickly, keeping operations safe and efficient.
Robust and Built to Perform in Harsh Environments
Safety and durability are at the core of the MPS™ 6.0 design. The sensor is certified as Intrinsically Safe Class 1, Div. 1 and Zone 0, meaning it can be safely used in the most hazardous environments. Additionally, it meets global safety standards, including ATEX, FM, CSA, IECEx, and UL certifications, ensuring that it can be safely deployed in a wide range of industries and applications. The MPS™ 6.0 is also compliant with the IEC 60079-29-1 Ed 2.1 Annex A standard, further solidifying its role in meeting stringent safety requirements in explosive environments.
Its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C and its ability to function in environments with up to 100% relative humidity make the MPS™ 6.0 perfect for challenging field conditions.
Moreover, built-in environmental compensation automatically adjusts to changes in temperature, pressure, and humidity, ensuring accurate readings regardless of external conditions. The sensor’s self-diagnostic feature performs comprehensive checks every 4 seconds, ensuring fail-safe operation. If the sensor detects an issue, it alerts the user immediately, minimizing downtime and improving overall system reliability.
Gas Classification: Beyond Just Detection
Unlike traditional gas sensors, the MPS™ 6.0 goes a step further by classifying gases. With its ability to identify and classify the gas present, the MPS™ 6.0 provides a clear understanding of the type of gas detected. This capability is invaluable for optimizing safety measures and ensuring the proper response to different types of gas leaks.
The sensor categorizes gases into six classes:
- Class 1: Hydrogen
- Class 2: Hydrogen Mixture
- Class 3: Methane/Natural Gas
- Class 4: Light Gas (e.g., Ethane, Propane)
- Class 5: Medium Gas (e.g., Pentane)
- Class 6: Heavy Gas (e.g., Octane, Toluene, Xylene)
The MPS™ 6.0: Designed for the Future of Gas Detection
With a 15-year sensor life, the MPS™ 6.0 Ultra-Low-Power Flammable Gas Sensor is built to provide long-term reliability and low-maintenance operation. Its immunity to poisoning and saturation ensures that the sensor remains accurate throughout its lifespan, reducing the need for costly replacements or maintenance.
Whether you’re monitoring Hydrogen, Methane, or a variety of other combustible gases, the MPS™ 6.0 offers a reliable, energy-efficient solution for gas detection in hazardous locations.
