Summary
Service of the polarographic oxygen sensors
POS) is the basis of signal stability, low noise and high time resolution.
Performance specifications of the OROBOROS O2k can be met only with
oxygen sensors which are maintained in a well monitored functional state.
(5) the oxygen signal at zero calibration does not decline rapidly to 0% to
max. 5% of the signal at air saturation. For each sensor, the
frequency of POS service is optimized on the basis of long-term
calibration records for quality control (O2-calibration.xlsx).
OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS
POS service may not be required
for several months of operation.
POS service is necessary if (1) a
new sensor is prepared, (2) the
signal at air calibration is not stable
over time, (3) signal noise is high,
(4) the time response is prolonged
and biphasic (time constant >10 s),
high-resolution respirometry
