I am interested in measuring "Eugenol" in a chamber? Can anybody help me with some contact details of sensors to measure eugenol?

Measuring what parameter - pressure? Density? Temperature?

The presence of "Eugenol" inside a chamber. The component is phenolic compound.The compound passes through the chamber as a vapor and escapes out.

The percentage of this component inside the chamber to know its concentration,is what I am interested.

Thanking in advance

If eugenol is the only organic substance in the chamber, your job is fairly straightforward. Several sensor types, including metal oxide (Figaro Engineering) or polymer sorption sensors such as SAW based, quartz microbalance, etc. Many instruments advertised as 'toxic gas sensors' will work in your application.

If eugenol is mixed with other compounds, your task becomes immeasurably more complex. Contact me if you need more information.

This "e-nose" approach using molecular imprinted polymers might be of interest:
