Join us and let’s dive into how our solutions can support your research and innovation.

By continuously tracking O₂ and CO₂, the XC Respirometer clearly reveals day-night cycles and growth trends with exceptional precision. It supports both fresh inoculations and pre-cultivated algae cultures, offering a fast and reliable way to evaluate culture performance and investigate photosynthetic activity.

►Unlock deeper insights into algae growth and environmental research with the XC Respirometer.

Watch the video: XC Respirometer: Tracking Algae Respiration

In the video, six reactors are prepared and continuously stirred to recreate natural aquatic conditions. After introducing the test substance, the XC Respirometer automatically monitors the process, providing continuous CO₂ measurements that clearly show how quickly a material biodegrades — all the way to completion. 

This approach offers a simple, reliable, and reproducible way to assess environmental impact and compare the biodegradability of different materials under realistic aquatic conditions.

Watch the video and see how the XC Respirometer brings clarity and confidence to aquatic biodegradation testing. 

In this quick experiment, we connected reactors containing different mixes of compost, fertilizer, and plants to continuously monitor CO₂ production. The data clearly showed day–night cycles: lower CO₂ during daytime photosynthesis and higher CO₂ at night as respiration took over. This simple setup highlights how continuous respirometry reveals interactions between plants, microbes, and environmental conditions.
