Oxygen electrode control units for Photosynthesis & Respiration Measurement

OXY/PHA

Ion Selective/pH Electrode Amplifier

Overview

The OXY/PHA is specialised control unit supplied by Hansatech Instruments to provide power and signal conditioning to accessory ion-selective electrodes for use with Oxygraph, Oxytherm or Oxylab control units. Signals from electrodes sensitive to pH, TPP+, calcium etc may be used in conjunction with the OXY/PHA in order to plot recorded data on the auxiliary input channel of the Oxygraph control unit.

Hansatech Instruments do not manufacture ion-selective electrodes and therefore, these items must be purchased via specialist companies. In the case of TPP+ measurement, Hansatech Instruments are able to recommend electrodes from:
