System Overview

The survival of tissues and organs relies on an adequate supply of oxygen. The measurement of tissue oxygen tension provides a direct measurement of the balance between oxygen supply (by the blood) and metabolic oxygen consumption (by the tissue), i.e. a readout of oxygen availability at the cellular level. This is in contrasts to spectroscopy (NIRS) techniques, which merely describe haemoglobin oxygenation status.

The OxyLite™ oxygen monitors allow life scientists to directly and continuously measure dissolved oxygen in the normal physiological as well as hypoxic ranges, both in experimental in vivo models, or in any number of in vitro applications.​

Since 1998, when Oxford Optronix pioneered the commercialization of fibre-optic oxygen micro-sensor technology, the OxyLite™ brand has become established the world over in biomedical, boasting in excess of 500 peer-reviewed journal citations and hundreds of units sold worldwide.

2013 saw the culmination of a decade and half of continuous R&D with the launch of the third-generation of tissue oxygen monitors. Blending contemporary design, true plug and play convenience and the very latest in opto-electronic technology, OxyLite™ Pro systems provide what is simply the most advanced, accurate and reliable tissue oxygen monitoring platform on the market.

Oxford Optronix oxygen sensors leverage state-of-the-art optical fluorescence technology intended for the quantitative measurement of oxygen partial pressure (pO2) and temperature in tissues, physiological fluids, cell cultures and other in vitro applications. This technology offers key advantages over devices based on polarographic technology, making OxyLite™ oxygen monitors much easier to use and ideally suited to oxygen measurements in the typical physiological range, as well as incredibly sensitive under conditions of hypoxia.

Applications include cancer biology, angiogenesis, stroke and brain injury, vital organ and muscle tissue monitoring, flap monitoring, ophthalmology, wound healing, as well as dissolved oxygen monitoring in cell culture, bioreactors etc.

Statement of intended use:
OxyLite™ and OxyLite™ Pro are intended for laboratory, industrial and research use only.
OxyLite™ and OxyLite™ Pro are NOT intended for use in human subjects/patients.

Oxford Optronix - OxyLite - Muscle Fatigue in Mouse

Data Example: A Model of Muscle Fatigue in Mouse

A single, combined oxygen/temperature sensor was used to continuously measure hind leg muscle tissue pO2 and temperature during repeated phases of contraction stimulation. The upper trace shows pO2 in units of mmHg; the lower trace shows temperature in units of degrees C.

Features & Benefits

The easiest-to-use dissolved oxygen monitors in the world!

No calibration procedures, no sensor drift, no obligatory PC/software interface, integrated temperature compensation, oxygen partial pressure displayed in absolute units of mmHg. OxyLite™ oxygen monitors are simply the most user-friendly oxygen monitors available today, period!

No oxygen consumption

Zero oxygen consumption at the point of measurement, thus innately suitable for continuous and absolute oxygen sensing, even under conditions of extreme hypoxia.

Minimally invasive for in vivo applications

Oxygen sensor diameters range from approximately 230 µm – 750 µm to suit a host of tissue monitoring applications and cause minimal tissue disruption in use.

Upgradeable

The OxyLite™ Pro 2-channel model can be factory upgraded to the 4-channel model (OxyLite™ Pro XL).

USB digital output

The entire range of Oxford Optronix tissue monitoring devices include a dedicated USB output that supports direct streaming of real-time recordings to a PC running the popular LabChart® Pro* charting software by ADInstruments. After installing a complimentary Add-on, LabChart will automatically identify the specific type and model of Oxford Optronix monitor and pre-load all the necessary configuration and channel settings, providing the ultimate in ‘plug and play’ convenience. For researchers wishing to make multi-parameter measurements, the Add-on supports multiple Oxford Optronix devices at the same time. Data acquisition and recording just got a whole lot easier!

Absolute units of dissolved oxygen

The fluorescence-based technique employed by OxyLite™ oxygen monitors provides an absolute measurement of dissolved oxygen in mmHg or kPa. In vivo this provides a direct readout of oxygen availability to cells and tissue, in contrast to blood oxygen saturation assessment (pulse oximetry), which merely describes the haemoglobin oxygenation status of blood.

Microchip sensors

‘EEPROM’ technology embedded within the purpose-designed connectors provides unsurpassed ease of use and user convenience by completely eliminating all calibration procedures. Simply ‘plug and go’!

Single-sensor multi-parameter monitoring

OxyLite™ oxygen monitors have been specifically developed for use with OxyFlo™ blood flow monitors. The combination of these two fibre optic measurement systems provides simultaneous tissue blood flow and oxygenation data from each ‘triple’ parameter combined sensor.

Multi-channel productivity

The OxyLite™ Pro is available as a 2-channel model or, uniquely, as a 4-channel device (OxyLite™ Pro XL) capable of driving up to 4 sensors simultaneously. This provides the flexibility to suit all needs, including the simultaneous monitoring of oxygen from multiple tissue sites (e.g. comparison of pathological versus control tissue sites), or multiple in vitro samples.

Analogue outputs

Continuous data recording to PC or Mac platforms is also supported via standard analogue data outputs offering compatibility with third party data recording solutions.

Sensitivity and accuracy

Third-generation opto-electronics provide unmatched sensitivity, stability and accuracy in the physiologically relevant pO2 range (0 – 200 mmHg) and under conditions of hypoxia (0 – 15 mmHg).

Touch-screen display and interface

OxyLite™ Pro models feature a touch-sensitive, high-contrast, 140º viewing-angle screen, which displays real-time data in both digital and graphical (trace) formats, and provides access to instrument/user settings.

Analogue outputs

Continuous data recording to PC or Mac platforms is also supported via standard analogue data outputs offering compatibility with third party data recording solutions.

Multi-channel productivity

The OxyLite™ Pro is available as a 2-channel model or, uniquely, as a 4-channel device (OxyLite™ Pro XL) capable of driving up to 4 sensors simultaneously. This provides the flexibility to suit all needs, including the simultaneous monitoring of oxygen from multiple tissue sites (e.g. comparison of pathological versus control tissue sites), or multiple in vitro samples.

Versatility

Full support for both in vivo (tissue) pO2 applications AND measurement of dissolved oxygen in vitro (e.g. hypoxic cell culture, tissue constructs, bioreactors and more).

2-year product warranty

Oxford Optronix monitors are now provided with a comprehensive 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, covering defects in material or in workmanship. An optional extended warranty package, providing up to 6 years of ‘peace of mind’ cover, including preventative maintenance servicing is available at the time of purchase.

User Testimonials

“Our group has successfully applied OxyLite needle probes to measure changes in tissue oxygenation in response to drug treatment. OxyLite has allowed us to collect important mechanistic data to identify the mechanism of these drug treatments in laboratory animals. We greatly appreciate having a calibrated method like the OxyLite probe technology available that allows the collection of accurate, real-time physiological data from live animals.”
– Dr. Thies Schroeder, Duke University Medical Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Durham NC, United States

“One particularly useful ability of the OxyLite [is the ability] to observe the oxygen measurements alongside absorbance readings, plotting both the oxygen and enzyme kinetics. This would never have been possible with a standard Clarke Electrode. I am genuinely impressed with the OxyLite, its range of applications and its ease of use. I would be more than happy to recommend it to the scientific community.”
 Dr. Catherine Hoare, Hope Hospital, Manchester, UK

“In our use with transplantable tumors we’ve found the OxyLite to be stable, sensitive and versatile..” “..the ability to measure dynamic changes in oxygen tension is a powerful feature.”
– Dr Dennis B. Leeper, Past Director and Founder, Division of Experimental Radiation Oncology, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA

“I use the BF/OT/E PO2 E-series sensor to measure PaO2 in vivo in invertebrates during external environmental fluctuations in PO2. Due to the accuracy and reliability of the PO2 probes we can design experiments that provide real time measurements of PO2 during changes in environmental variables and more accurately link this to behavioural responses. During the experimental set up the staff at Oxford Optronix were always on hand to help out with any technical queries and even visited the laboratory to check out the experimental set up and ensure the probes were working. I would recommend Oxford Optronix to anyone with an interest in measuring PO2 and temperature in marine science.”

Dr Elizabeth Morgan, National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton, UK

“Your equipment has taken me to some weird and wonderful places and contributed to about a dozen original articles over the last decade.”
