Oxford Optronix releases all-new software platform for its popular ColCount product

Leveraging many of the advances introduced with its sister product, the GelCount, Oxford Optronix is proud to announce general release of software version 5 for its popular ColCount colony counter. Sales Director Dr Michael Rau remarked, “The ColCount has met with incredible success since its launch in 2002 and lots of work has gone into incrementally improving both the hardware and its software front-end over the years. With version 5 we’re introducing a step-change enhancement in the flexibility and performance of the ColCount platform as a whole, much of which based on user-feedback. And version 5 will not just benefit new users but is being rolled out as a free upgrade to our existing user-base. Personally, that’s something I’m proud of since I think it speaks volumes for our customer-focused ethos”.

Oxford Optronix announces general availability of 'Large Area Sensors'

Oxford Optronix announces that it is now shipping its latest range of unique Large Area (LAS) type tissue oxygen sensors. LAS sensors have a robust catheter-type construction which provide dissolved oxygen sensing over much larger areas/volumes of tissue whilst still maintaining a small, overall diameter in order to mitigate against potential tissue trauma.

Making the announcement, CEO Dr Andy Obeid said "The ability to be able to measure ‘integrated’ or ‘averaged’ oxygen values over much larger volumes/areas of tissue can be advantageous in situations where the tissue under investigation has a large degree of spatial heterogeneity in its oxygen content (i.e. where oxygen values can vary markedly from one micro-region to the next). One of the unique benefits of LAS sensor technology is to enable 'averaged' tissue oxygen measurements to be obtained in a controlled way."

Another potential benefit of the LAS sensor is that the oxygen measurement takes place actually along the longitudinal axis of the catheter – NOT at the tip. The ability of the LAS sensor to measure tissue oxygen away from the site of insertion is considered to be advantageous in some situations as this is the region at which there will be maximal tissue trauma (due to mechanical insertion) and also the region at which the tissue is most occluded (due to mechanical compression).

Two versions of the LAS sensor are available, featuring an oxygen sampling area of either 1mm2 or 8mm2.
