The Oxygraph Respirometer
(OXY1) provides an affordable and convenient method of measuring oxygen evolution or
consumption from samples during photosynthesis or respiration.
The OXY1 is compatible with all HANSATECH electrode units for
cellular respiration and photosynthetic applications.
Electrode units are temperature
controlled by connection of the water jacket surrounding the reaction vessel to a
temperature regulated circulating water bath. For Peltier thermostated
system please see OXYTHERM reference.
The oxygraph comprises a robust yet lightweight enclosure containing
the integrated electronics and magnetic stirrer and an external 12V DC supply.
The control unit connects to a PC via the serial port and uses
bi-directional RS232 communications for instrument control from the PC keyboard and data
acquisition to the PC with a Windows Control Software. Up to eight systems
can be serially connected and controlled by one PC. |
