Description

Measurement of oxygen consumption rates in pore water samples using resazurin as an indicator dye. Samples preserved at 4°C for 24 hours before spectrofluorometric analysis to determine aerobic respiration rates and calculate Damköhler numbers.

Typical Equipment

  • Horiba Fluoromax 3 spectrofluorometer
  • resazurin

Output Measurements

  • oxygen consumption rates
  • aerobic respiration rates
  • Damköhler numbers
