The OxyStar-100 is a fast-response, high accuracy oxygen analyzer for respiratory monitoring, hypoxic gas studies, or general laboratory use. It features a measurement range of 0 – 100% O2, with a resolution of 0.1%. Sample flow is adjustable over a 10 – 200ml/min range, making respiratory oxygen measurements possible on small as well as larger animals and human subjects.
The instrument uses an advanced paramagnetic oxygen transducer with fully digital operation. Calibration is accomplished
with a simple two-point procedure, typically nitrogen (for 0.0%) and room air (20.9%). The analyzer offers excellent linearity and stability over its entire measurement range. Standard features of the OxyStar-100 include simple one-knob calibration, analog voltage output signal, and a serial data output for remote monitoring or data collection. A bar-graph display shows rapid changes and trends over three user-selectable ranges. Sample inlet and outlet connections use standard Luer-loc fittings. The instrument comes complete with sample tubing and an accessory pack of tubing and adapter fittings for constructing custom sample tubing configurations.

Xperiment Girl’s past was shrouded in mystery until now. Xperiment Girl was originally the international respected Dr. Gene Knockout researcher extraordinaire, a living legend working out of her hidden Nerve Center at IITC. For most of her career, Xperiment Girl worked with inferior equipment resulting in bad data.
Teaching the fine art of mastering and measuring accurately tail cuff blood pressure on mice, rats and all other animals, Xperiment Girl in turn intrigued by pain and how she could assist in superior equipment in the field of pain tolerance, fascination/became obsessed with solving poor test data from inferior equipment.
