Bacteria, yeast algae RESPIROMETER
We developed very sensitive O2/CO2 Respirometer which can monitor oxygen
consumption of algae at the levels of 0.2 uL O2/hour. It was also used to
measure respiration of zebra mussels, water plants, respiration of seed,
insects, vegetables, olive fruits and cherries. It was also used to test
bacteria growth in fruit juices and in testing bioremediation rate of oil
spills ( Exxon
Valdez). 1 to 80 samples can be tested simultaneously over minutes or
months in air or modified atmosphere. Respirometer can be supplemented
with CH4, H2S, H2 and NH3
analyzers . Principle of measurement is in the measuring head space gas
exchanges
by externally located gaseous vary sensitive analyzers ( 0.001%).
If you are interested in receiving more information drop me a note and I
will send you
instrument description and application notes including published papers on
its marine applications.
