Overview The
survival of tissues and organs relies on an adequate
supply of oxygen to the mitochondria within the tissue
cells. Importantly, the measurement of tissue oxygen
partial pressure (ptiO2) provides a measure of oxygen
availability at the cellular level.
Our
oxygen sensors are based on state of the art optical
fluorescence technology for continuous quantitative
monitoring of regional pO2 in tissue and fluids. The
technology employed offers several key advantages over
devices based on polarographic electrodes, which make
our oxygen sensors much easier to use, better suited
to physiological oxygen measurements and incredibly
sensitive under conditions of tissue hypoxia.
Key
features:
Whether
your application requires the strikingly designed, multi-channel
OxyLite monitor or the single channel OxyLab pO2 monitor,
you will benefit from the following features:
Multi-parameter
- both systems can be combined with their blood
flow monitoring counterpart to uniquely provide
the measurement of pO2, blood flow and temperature
from the same tissue site using a single sensor.
Fluorescence
quenching technology - zero oxygen consumption,
providing exceptional sensitivity to hypoxia and
ultimate accuracy.
