Manufacturer: ECHO Instruments

Short description: Continuous respirometric measuring system for determining the aerobic or anaerobic biodegradability of solid or liquid samples in various test media for up to 36 measuring stations/places.

Application: The respirometer can be used for all types of respirometric tests such as OECD degradability tests, soil respiration and biogas tests.

Technical Data
Measuring principle The respirometer continuously measures the O2 and CO2 concentration in the gas flowing through the sample under controlled conditions. Additional gases, such as methane, can also be measured.
Measuring environment Aerobic/anaerobic, aquatic media and soil respiration
Measuring Period Unlimited
Temperature range 5 to 70 °C
Standards ISO 14852, ISO 14855-1, ASTM D 5338, ASTM D6691, OECD 301B, OECD 301C

Funded by the ‘European Regional Development Fund (EFRE) as part of the Union's response to the COVID-19 pandemic’ and with the participation of the state of Lower Saxony for the project with the acronym ‘SkalAb’ (Multi-scale analysis of aquatic degradation mechanisms of polymer materials).
