BM-T+ Respirometer
A single bottle aerobic respirometer for the laboratory measurement of oxygen consumption rate and derived parameters in aerobic cultures.
This open aerobic respirometer system, allows additions of test substances or nutrients throughout the testing period, unlike those respirometers based on pressure reduction techniques. It also supplies air to the culture, hence never being oxygen limiting like some simpler barometric systems.
The measurement principal is that of DO concentration measurement over time. Temperature stability is achieved with a self contained peltier heating/cooling system.
BM respirometers can be easily adapted to biomass carriers, and run any respirometry test by means of the simple installation of a special reactor provided with a cage vessel containing carriers.
Three modes of operation are available:
- Static - this just measures a single oxygen decay of a pre-aerated sample, giving the OUR or SOUR for that sample. Very useful for rapid checks on ASP functionality.
- Cyclic – This measures multiple oxygen decay curves between fixed DO set points, allowing construction of a long term respirogram.
- Dynamic – This measures the variation in respiration rate through the treatment of a sample. Max respiration rates are determined as are total oxygen demands. It is particularly useful for rapid comparative tests,cumulative oxygen requirement tests, relative bioactivity tests, Kinetic parameter determinations.
