ECHO Instruments - Model ER -Respirometer for Biodegradation Measurement
Respirometer is a device that measures respiration of living organisms. Respirometer determines aerobic or anaerobic biodegradability of solid or liquid samples in various applications. Respirometer measures O2 and CO2 concentration in flow through the sample under controlled conditions. Additional gases can also be measured. Applications: - Biodegradation in compost; - Biodegradation in soil; - Biodegradation in fresh waters; - Biodegradation in marine waters; - Biodegradation in sediments; - Measuring δC13 Isotope ON-LINE; - Insects and small animals respirometry; - Biodegradation in waste waters; - Biodegradation in activated sludge; - Aerobic and anaerobic conditions; - Food respiration, R&D in plastics, biotechnology
