Compact – modular XC Respirometer

For screening and R&D measurements

Compact XC Respirometer for screening and R&D measurements, connected to existing hardware or as a complete setup.

Features

  • STAND-ALONE CONTROLLER for connection to existing hardware (vessels, cabinets, etc);
  • COMPLETE SETUP with vessels, thermostatic cabinet, air source, PC, etc;
  • SUITABLE FOR R&D TESTS, SCREENING and RAPID TESTS;
  • MODULAR DESIGN & UPGRADABLE;
  • NEW Software with additional features;
  • Different mixing options.

Applications

Biotechnology & Microbiology

  • Fermentation monitoring (Optimize yeast or bacterial fermentation in brewing, winemaking);
  • Bacterial infection testing (Measure respiratory activity of pathogens to determine antibiotic resistance);
  • General testing of microbial growth (medicinal, pharma, food).

Environmental science & Agriculture

  • Soil respiration studies (analyse microbial respiration in soil to assess fertility and carbon storage);
  • Plant respiration (measuring plant health, growth efficiency, stress response);
  • Pesticide & fertilizer impact (measure how chemicals affect soil microbial activity and respiration);
  • Detection of biofilm formation (Changes in respiration patterns over time may provide indirect evidence of biofilm development. A decline or plateau in the rate of oxygen consumption over time, while the biomass increases, may suggest that biofilm formation is occurring. biofilms clog pipes, reduce efficiency in water treatment plants, cooling systems, and contribute to chronic infections (catheter infections, dental plaque));
  • Biomass & Biofuels (renewable energy - use respirometers to analyse the microbial degradation of organic matter for biogas or biofuel production).

General laboratory work

  • Cellular respiration or photosynthesis: measuring oxygen consumption of yeast or plant leaves under different conditions;
  • Design experiments to study how environmental factors such as temperature, pH, or light intensity affect the metabolic activity;
  • Compare the metabolic rates of different organisms, from insects to small animals, plants, fungi, or bacteria.

Advantages

  • Multi-channel system: 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 / 36, etc;
  • Plug & Play design (easy to install, use and maintain);
  • Suitable for screening and R&D measurements;
  • O₂, CO₂, temperature, flow, pressure, humidity measurements;
  • Various sizes of vessels;
  • Remote desktop control;
  • Various ranges of gas sensors;
  • User-friendly software with MS Excel export.

Modularity

  • XC Respirometer can be connected to various laboratory equipment and bioreactors. Configuration of multiple units is possible with one software. Measurements data base can be synchronized to any cloud or backup service.
