Usage Areas

Environmental and Biological Research
The handheld Microx 4 and Microx 4 trace are ideal tools for field research and can be used to measure gas or dissolved oxygen. When used with different types of immersion probes or oxygen microsensors, they enable applications such as water quality assessment, respiration measurements, or in-tissue measurements. These oxygen meters can be used anywhere precise oxygen measurement is required. With their splash-resistant, rugged housings, they are suitable for use in harsh environments. Features such as special power settings for long-term measurements, virtually unlimited storage capacity, and graphical display of your measurements ensure long-term, convenient, and computer-independent use.
Medical and Life Sciences Research
The Microx 4 and Microx 4 trace can be used with oxygen microsensors in various designs. These sensors enable precise point measurements and profiling within tissue structures. PreSens oxygen microsensors are already in use in a variety of tissue engineering applications. Implantable microsensors, which do not require any additional housing, are ideal for customized application setups, integration into catheters, or direct implantation into soft tissue. Since oxygen sensors can also be applied with sensor tips, non-invasive measurements can even be performed inside cell culture dishes without the risk of contamination.
The Ideal Tool for Packaging and Quality Control
Oxygen inside packaging can cause oxidative degradation and shorten the shelf life of products. The portable, handheld Microx 4 and Microx 4 trace are ideal for quality control in the food and beverage industries and can be used at various stages of production. Oxygen sensors in various designs can be integrated into tubes and containers or held directly against samples taken for quality control. Calibration and sensor recognition via barcode scanning will speed up the workflow when investigating oxygen ingress in hundreds of containers and packages. When used with needle-type oxygen microsensors, the oxygen content in small-scale gaseous-filled packages or opaque containers can be determined using oxygen analyzers.
Oxygen Measurements in Biofilms and Sediments
The Microx 4 and Microx 4 trace can be used with oxygen microsensors of various designs that allow for in-situ measurements. Needle-type oxygen microsensors mounted on a syringe needle can be inserted into biofilms or sediments to profile oxygen levels. Perform fully online oxygen measurements at different depths within your sample. When used with micromanipulators, oxygen microsensors can be positioned in µm increments for precise placement. Robust dissolved oxygen probes are also available for easy application to sediments in the laboratory or in the field.
