I developed very sensitive O2/CO2 Respirometer which proven to be
usefull in measuring respiration of soil, algae, insects, BOD in
water, oxidation of food, bacteria cutures, photodegradation of
plastics, biodegradation of petrochemicals atc. It can be used
both as a closed system or as an open system where air is
supplied to measuring chambers at constant rate.
It can be used for both anearobic and anerobic bactera and air
can be replaced with other atmospheres. 1 to 80 samples can be
monitored at the same time at room or other temperatures.
Other gas analyzers such as H2,H2S,CH4,CO, NO can be connected to
measure evolution of other then O2 and CO2 gases.
If you are interested in more information I can send you
published papers on its use id different conditions
(applications). Please e-mail your STREET ADDRESS.
