The YSI 5300A Biological Oxygen Monitor is ideal for a variety of teaching and research applications in the laboratory. The 5300A measures oxygen consumption and evolution in a variety of samples including respiration, oxidative activity, and cellular metabolism studies. The 5300A system utilizes Clark-type polarographic oxygen electrodes immersed in magnetically-stirred sample chambers; and it produces oxygen uptake or evolution curves in 2 to 15 minutes. This two-channel instrument offers simultaneous display, recorder outputs, and RS-232 serial output for monitoring and displaying rate curves during sample runs.
