The CytoSense XR is a powerful benchtop flow cytometer for the precise
detection, classification and imaging of individual particles in water samples. Designed for high-resolution analysis in a central laboratory or small
field labs. It combines flow cytometry with advanced imaging to provide
detailed insights into both the structure and composition of microscopic
particles.
Unlike conventional flow cytometers, the CytoSense XR captures both
scatter and fluorescence data alongside high-quality images, all within a
single run. With its broad detection range from picoplankton to filamentous structures, and its capacity for continuous operation, the XR supports a wide spectrum of research applications. Think of environmental
monitoring, biotechnology, or aquatic microbiology, from routine water
quality assessments to advanced ecosystem studies and species-level
classification.

Specification
Aqua Monitor is a versatile water sampler that can collect 47 samples of up to 1000 ml each.The
samples are captured using a high pressure syringe pump and then injected into gas impermeable
bags that can be pre-loaded with preservative. Samples are stored in two or more protective enclosures for post recovery analysis. Aqua Monitor can be used in moored or towed-vehicle applications
to collect samples either as \"one-shot\" per sample or each sample integrated over time. Originally
designed as a versatile water and phytoplankton sampler the device may be programmed for autonomous sampling or operated as a \"slave\" within an integrated system. The sample volume is user
programmable and a macro language allows the operator to easily imple-ment custom in-situ
sample processing. Timed sampling control for moored applications includes traditional time-series
sample collection and batch / burst sampling from a user generated schedule of sample interval. The
real-time mode provides Aqua Monitor with the unique ability to sample coherently with tidal state
or acquire groups of samples each dosed with different preservatives. Aqua Monitor may be triggered externally with an additional controller determining thresholds or other criteria to initiate
sampling. Aqua Monitor has been used aboard many ROVs and AUVs and has been fitted to the National Oceanography Center (UK) AUV\"Autosub\"during science missions in the Uk.

The NuLAB adapts established wet chemical methods to a field chemical analyzer. Precise volumes of sample, on-board standard and reagents connected to
a rotary valve are mixed by a syringe pump and reacted solutions are analyzed
in high precision colorimeters. In essence, the NuLAB is a rugged “chemistry
robot\" capable of various wet-chemical analysis. Sample data is calibrated via
preserved on-board standards that are analyzed at user specified intervals.
Sample and reagent volumes, mixing times and flushing are controlled by
straight-forward macros that can be customized by users or Green Eyes to
achieve specific analytical goals.

CISME
Coral in situ Metabolism
Bringing the Lab to the Ocean
The name stands for Community In Situ Metabolism, and is
pronounced ‘kiss-me’ to reflect the gentle interaction between the instrument and the coral/substrate.
What is CISME?
A diver-portable respirometer developed to make
non-destructive and non-invasive measurements of coral
metabolic rates in situ under ambient conditions.
CISME also works with algae and other low-relief benthic
substrates.
CISME measures changes in oxygen and pH during short
incubations in which water flow and light levels are
user-controlled.
Respiration (R) and photosynthesis (P) rates are calculated from changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide within the
enclosed volume, which are vital indicators of coral
health.
R and P are based on O2 and CO2 fluxes, from which RQs
and PQs can be calculated.
Sample loops provide water samples that can be titrated
for total alkalinity to calculate calcification rate.
The sample loop can also be used to experimentally
introduce substances that might affect metabolism (e.g.
acidified seawater for OA studies).
Electronics Housing: Electronics
components are contained in a
pressure resistant acrylic housing (80
m depth) connected by waterproof
cables to the incubation flow-sensor
‘head’.
Incubation Head: Housing the
sensors, pump, LED light source is
attached by the user to the
coral/substrate surface with special
retractors.
Instrument Operation: CISME is
operated with a proprietary Android
app on a submersible Android tablet
connected to the CISME by a WiFi
cable.
Diver Portability: Instrument and
underwater tablet together are ca.
5-7 lbs negative UW.

algae, settlement plates.
Non-destructive sampling for massive
corals with low rugosity surfaces.
Branching corals require sampling.
Programmable flow from 350 to 1200
mL/min ; rpm feedback from pump.
Programmable Light levels (PAR): 0 – 2500 µmol/m2/s.
Programmable incubation routines (R, P, R+P, P+R,
Custom multistep); P vs I curves can be pre-programmed.
Removable sample loop volume used to collect water
samples or introduce additives.
Incubation volume: 71 mL with no sample loop; 88 mL
with a 16 mL sample loop; 120 mL with flow cup.
Optional sample cup for use with coral fragments, algae,
small invertebrates and other detached organisms, and
core tube adaptor for use with in situ sediments.
Designed to maximize data collection by divers: short
incubations of 5 to 60 minutes duration, depending on
organism and desired measurements; calcification takes
longer than just respiration and photosynthesis. High
capacity external battery power allows up to 8 h of use
before recharging.

Photosynthesis, Respirometry Metabolic Testing

Designed to measure metabolic rate in aquatic animals using intermittent flow
respirometry. O2 consumption by the aquatic organism is measured with an optical dissolved (DO) probe.Software provides calculations of the oxygen consumption rate (VO2).Measurements are made sequentially without removing
the animal from the sample chamber, and the chamber is flushed between measurements with fresh water.This method overcomes the disadvantage of continuous closed respirometry where Do level in the chamber may decrease to a hypoxic level. Up to 4 aquatic chambers may be monitored simultaneously with
optionalcomponents.

Gas enters the cuvette via the inlet port and an air stone which is
below the level of the suspension, this causes bubbling and mixing
throughout the sample. The CO₂ from the algal suspension is
released into the head space above the liquid and exits the chamber
via the gas outlet. Gas coming out of the chamber travels through a
PTFE filter and Nafion RH equilibrator before entering the drying
column and the CO₂ Analyzer. If any liquid leaves the algal chamber the
PTFE filter stops it from entering the Q-S151 CO₂ analyzer. The Nafion RH
equilibrator brings the relative humidity of the gas to ambient levels. The
algal culture is illuminated by an LED light source calibrated in software to
provide data in units of μmol photon/m2/s.

\"I have tested my new Qubit
system with isolated oyster mitochondria, and was extremely
pleased with the results. I can't believe I was suffering for the whole
year with my old chamber. I have
tried three different systems based
on Clarke-type electrodes including this one, and this is by far the
most convenient for use with small
sam ple volumes and gives a very
clean, repeatable trace with the
best signal to noise ratio l've ever
had with micro-chambers.\"

A field-portable respirometry system for measuring CO2 and O2 exchange from
insects, or other inver - tebrates and small animals such as amphibians, and
reptiles. As in all of Qubit's Q-BOX packages the components are modular so
you may choose the configuration that best meets your application. Add components to expand your Q-BOX capabilities as your research and teaching
needs evolve.
Automatic calculations of VO2 and VCO2 in both open and stop flow modes are
displayed on the fly.

Q-BOX PACKAGES
The Q-BOX concept is all about flexibility. Do you want a system
that can be used to measure insect respirometry, photosynthesis,
human metabolic rate and atmospheric monitoring? Do you need to
share your Q-BOX with a colleague from another discipline?
Please contact us and we'll show you how the various components
required for diverse studies can be configured in a common system.

The Q-Box RP2LP package provides the user with all the materials required to
measure the metabolic rate of animals such as small mammals, reptiles, birds, in
an open-flow gas ex-change system. With optional battery pack this system
may be used in the field. As in all of Qubit's Q-BOX packages the components
are modular so you may choose the configuration that best meets your application. Add components to expand your Q-BOX capabilities as your research and
teaching needs evolve.
Optional enhanced Q-Box RP2LP provides automatic VCO2 and VO2 calculations.
