Application Fields for Oxygen Sensors from Pyro Science

Respirometry

incubation of an enclosed sediment, soil, biofilm, plant, animal, algae, plankton, fish, tissue, cell or microbial sample in an airtight closed chamber
introduction of a temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation of oxygen signals
detection of the initial oxygen decrease (over time) and calculation of oxygen consumption rate
usable oxygen sensors from Pyro Science: e.g. sensors spots glued into closed vials, fixed needle-type sensor, or robust miniprobes.

incubation of an enclosed phototrophic sediment, biofilm, soil, plant, algae, phytoplankton or cell sample in an airtight closed chamber which is illuminated and tempered
introduction of a temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation of oxygen signals
detection of initial oxygen increase (over time) and calculation of net oxygen production rates
usable oxygen sensors from Pyro Science: sensor spots, fixed needle-type sensor with protected tip (only for gas phase) or extended tip, or robust miniprobes. If the sensor might be exposed to direct illumination, it is advised to chose sensors with optical isolation.

depth profiling in aqueous (e.g. stratified water bodies) and semi-solid samples like marine and freshwater sediments and biofilms, ice algae, tissue, microbial consortia and mats, soils or above gradient-building surfaces like corals, macroalgae, plant leaves, or tissues
in combination with turnkey motorized setups (USB plug&play) for sensor positioning on 3 axes and sensor movements in 1-2 axis with the versatile logging software Profix
usable oxygen sensors from Pyro Science: retractable needle-type micro-and minisensors (depending on the spatial resolution needed; from ~100 to 500 µm) or fixed needle-type minisensor

gas samples extracted e.g. from a sediment, soil, biofilm, tissue, bioreactor, culture enclosed in a vial with a septum or in a tubing
analysis of gases produced after (bio-)chemical reactions or during bioprocessing enclosed in a vial with a septum or in a tubing
online-monitoring during gas sampling
usable oxygen sensors from Pyro-Science: fixed needle-type sensor with protected tip, sensor spots, flow-through cells

measurements in customized housings, setups or complex geometries needing flexible sensors
for measurements in tissues needing implantable sensors

usable oxygen sensors from Pyro Science: bare fiber micro- or minisensor

growth experiments of cells, tissues, microbes, fungi, plankton, animals and plant
control and monitoring of oxygen content in cultures and growth experiments
determination of oxygen content and/or metabolic rates (see also respirometry and photosynthesis) for correlation with growth phase/rate
effect of manipulation on activity of cultures
