Digital Respinometer
Product Code : JA-DR-2394
The Digital Respinometer (SKU JA-DR-2394) is a manometric respirometer that measures gas exchange, such as oxygen uptake, by cells, tissue slices or micro-organisms held in small flasks at a controlled temperature. This digital respirometer has a polished stainless steel water tank taking 7 manometers a side, a digital temperature display and an oscillating drive of about 90 rpm that keeps the flask contents mixed. JaincoLab manufactures it for biochemistry, microbiology and pharmacology laboratories.
Specifications
The bath is a polished stainless steel tank with a stainless steel immersion heater and stirrer, controlled from 5 °C above ambient to 60 °C to within ±0.5 °C and shown on a digital display with 0.1 °C resolution.

Applications of the digital respirometer
Reading the pressure change in each manometer at constant temperature shows how much gas a sample takes up or gives off over time.

- Respiration rate of yeast, bacteria and other micro-organisms
- Effect of drugs, substrates and inhibitors on cellular respiration in pharmacology research
- Postgraduate and research work in biochemistry, microbiology and plant physiology
