Online Microsensor Workshop

Dr. Lars Hauer Larsen, CSO at Unisense, gives you an introduction to microsensor technology. You will learn about the basic measuring principles behind the different microsensor types. We discuss what to consider when you plan your microsensor measurements, and you will learn how to choose the right sensor type and tip size for different applications. We also look into the physical and chemical influence on the measurements and calibrations.

In this lecture by Dr. Tage Dalsgaard, Application Scientist at Unisense, we discuss how you can use microsensors in biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. This includes what you need to consider when you make a microprofiling setup for measuring in e.g. sediments or microbial mats, the importance of steady state, and laboratory vs. in situ measurements.

We also show you how you can use Unisense sensors for water column measurements and discuss the general use of microsensors incl. calibration and temperature compensation. The lecture contains published examples of how researchers have used the sensors and a discussion of the measurements they made.

Microsensors are a great tool for analyzing microenvironments, determining concentrations in small volumes, and determining production/consumption rates.

In this lecture, Dr. Line Daugaard, Product Manager at Unisense, shows you how to set up microsensor experiments and explores examples of microsensor applications in microbiology, biomedical sciences and within renewable energy applications. This includes measurements in biofilms, cultures, animal tissues, reactors, photoelectrochemical cells and more.

Dr. Line Daugaard, Product Manager at Unisense, gives you a brief introduction to the components of the MicroRespiration System followed by a live demonstration of setting up the MicroRespiration System, calibrating the MR sensor and recording rates including a demonstration of the software.

In this online demonstration, Dr. Tage Dalsgaard, Application Scientist at Unisense, demonstrates how the Microprofiling System works, the Profiling software, how you calibrate a microsensor, and measure microprofiles of oxygen in a sediment core.

Dr. Tage Dalsgaard, Application Scientist at Unisense, shows you how to calculate the total production and consumption rates as well as the distribution of these from the curvature of a microprofile. The Profiling software, which is part of our SensorTrace Suite, has a built-in microprofile analysis tool which can do this simply and easily. In this lecture, we show you how to use the software. We also discuss the theory and assumptions behind these analyses.
