News from PreSens and the Sensor-World

University research including pH measurements as needed for measurements in tumor research animal or plant tissue, or profiling sediments or biofilms, ask for reliable and stable equipment. The new generation of pH microsensors by PreSens, combined with the new pH-1 ST meter, meet these requirements.

PreSens Precision Sensing GmbH has been acknowledged as a "Key Innovator" by the European Commission for its groundbreaking innovation developed under the EU-funded SCREENED project.

Based on a novel technology, which creates very stable, internally referenced measured values, the CO2-1 ST device by PreSens is especially suited for end users in academia including

e. g. photosynthesis and respiration measurements, for animal or plant physiology or water quality checks (e. g. beverages, sea water).

This newest series of robust, low-maintenance OXYBase-SW oxygen probes is ideally suited for permanent dissolved oxygen measurements in environmental research, aquaculture, sewage and wastewater treatment. Our probes with replaceable sensor caps are specifically designed for long-term outdoor or submerged use – and they work extremely well in sea water.

Our new monitoring platform based on the well-proven PreSens imaging technology - the PhoxyCube together with the PhoxyPlates – is an innovative image-based reader that can measure O2 and / or pH in different well plate formats through the well bottom. It is meant for use in incubators and therefore ideally suited for cell cultures, toxicity screenings, tissue engineering and respiration…

In a recent interview with BIOspektrum, Prof. Dr. Eric Gottwald from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) described the collaboration with PreSens as a highlight in the last few years of his research. The cooperation resulted in a completely new and so far, unique method for oxygen monitoring in 3D cell culture in physioxic conditions.
