User Testimonials
“In [our] experiments we measure: continuous, relative cortical CBF with your laser Doppler implanted probes, intermittent, but absolute CBF with fluorescent-labelled microspheres, cortical tissue pO2 with your implanted [sensors], cerebral arterio-venous difference and thus the cerebral metabolic rate for O2 by having a sagittal sinus catheter, and electroencephalogram (EEG) for neuronal activity and “sleep state”. Technologically, the experiments are quite a Tour de Force. I thank you, because without the technological expertise Oxford Optronix provides, we could not perform these studies.”
Prof Lawrence Longo, Loma Linda University, CA, United States
“We collaborate with Oxford Optronix for several years now. Oxford Optronix provided us with an excellent technical support during our efforts in the field of multi-parametric neuro-monitoring. We are impressed not only by their products but also by their commitment to develop cutting edge products for experimental and clinical neuroscience.”
Dr Beat Alessandri, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Germany
“We are currently using … the OxyLab LDF and the … OxyLab pO2 … in animal experiments to take recordings in brain tissue. Both of these monitoring systems have proven of great value in studies on focal brain ischemia and reperfusion, in which we have addressed the role of collateral blood flow on tissue perfusion, oxygen supply, and the development of ischemic brain damage. A publication of these data is presently in preparation.”
Prof Lothar Schilling, Universitätsklinikum, Mannheim, Germany
“I found Oxford Optronix´s group of experts to be knowledgeable, friendly and supportive with regular feedback capable to overcome any challenge. The [OxyLite / OxyFlo] system offers a broad range of in vivo applications that provided us the data we require.”
Prof. Martin Matejovic, Charles University and Teaching Hospital, Plzen, Czech Republic
“In our studies on the response to gas inhalation in abdominal organs, OxyLite and OxyFlo allowed us to monitor tissue pO2 and perfusion response simultaneously in the liver and kidney. No other minimally invasive system could capture dynamic changes with such fine temporal resolution, and no other system could provide concurrent pO2 and perfusion measurement in multiple tissue regions. Oxford Optronix enabled us to understand the physiological phenomena underlying our magnetic resonance imaging measurements. It is truly a powerful, must-have technology.”
Dr Hai-Ling Margaret Cheng, University of Toronto, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada
“We use OxyFlo Pro and OxyLite Pro devices in our piglet experiments that focus on validating the non-invasive modalities of quantifying cerebral pressure autoregulation and neurovascular coupling. This is an ongoing project to understand elucidate the mechanisms of brain injury in critically ill infants. We are extremely satisfied with the Oxford Optronix devices. Their customer support service is phenomenal.”
Dr Rathinaswamy Govindan, Children’s National Medical Center, Washington DC, United States
“.. great products with tremendous support. The knowledgeable members of your team are always extremely helpful. The OxyLite and OxyFlo units have been a great asset to our research”
Dr Gregory Hare, University of Toronto, St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, Canada
