The Challenge Respirometers are ideally suited for diagnostic and research applications 

Here are some of the more common potential uses:

• Assessing biodegradation characteristics of specific chemicals or chemical mixtures
• Determining kinetic parameters for biodegradation reactions
• Assessing substrate conversion and biomass growth for specific microbial cultures
• Monitoriing acclimation of cultures to refractory organics
• Measuring activity of aerobic or anaerobic cultures
• Determining inhibition parameters for toxic chemicals
• Measuring oxygen uptake of plants, insects, small animals, or soil or compost samples
