Microbes may “manage” more biological processes than even the experts of the moment may realize. The microbiome is often found at the intersection of novel evolutionary and biomedical understandings of fundamental cell processes. Microbes are essential team players in digestive physiology and fermentation process. While they take up a big role directing or influencing living and biogeophysical landscapes, they provide only minute signals that require high resolution respirometry and environmental instrumentation to acquire.
Important System Considerations
- Highest resolution, variable flow through or constant volume respirometry
- Rugged and compact systems for field use
- Benchtop systems that provide automated acquisition across multiple chambers
- Broad range, high stability CO2 measurement
- High-resolution water vapor pressure, relative humidity, and Dewpoint analyzer
- Expandable to include CH4 analysis
