Enabling Biomedicine Research

Dr. Logan Voss and his team have investigated how the measurement of tissue oxygen partial pressure can provide an easy, quick, and reliable method for screening and controlling for variation in ex vivo acute brain slice viability. Read more...

Dr. Ravera from the University of Genova performed real-time measurements of the respiration rate of 4T1 cells during the addition of respiratory substrates and inhibitors. The MicroRespiration System makes it possible for you to inject substrates while measuring, and enables you to study the effect of adding e.g. electron transport chain substrates, inhibitors, or drugs to the cells in closed chambers.

The Channichthyidae icefish from Antarctica are white-blooded. This means that they have very few red blood cells and no hemoglobin to transport oxygen around in the body. Dr. Henrik Lauridsen from Aarhus University used microsensors to understand how the icefish can maintain oxygenation of the retina, which has a high oxygen demand, without the use of hemoglobin.

In this application note, a research group studied the oxygen consumption of a carcinoma cell monolayer. The studies were made possible with a set-up mounted on an inverted microscope to make it possible for the user to observe when the sensor tip touched the flask bottom. Read more...

In this study, Kuhlmann et al (2012) determined H₂ concentration in the gas cavities of magnesium implants and monitored how quickly H₂ exchanged with the environment. The measurements could help determine the cause for the quick corrosion of magnesium implants in aqueous environments. Read more...
