Leaky Chamber

Leaky chamber test

  • When the leakage is so little that cannot be noticed in a short amount of time, we recommend to follow the Leaky chamber test below:
  1. Decrease the oxygen concentration down to ~ 50 μM (using Dithionite or N2 injection)
  2. Let the O2k record overnight with the chamber closed and illumination switched off
  3. The oxygen concentration should decrease overtime due to the O2 consumed by OroboPOS as it is shown in the figure. In this case, the chamber is assembled properly.
  4. If the oxygen concentration increases over time, a reassemble of the chamber is needed.

  • To exclude the existence of an unnoticed leak from the chamber, we recommend performing the following Leaky chamber test - especially after chamber reassembly:
  1. Decrease the oxygen concentration down to ~ 50 μM (using Dithionite or N2 injection).
  2. Record the O2k measurement overnight with the chamber closed and illumination switched off.
  3. The oxygen concentration should decrease overtime due to the O2 consumed by the OroboPOS as shown in the figure below.
  4. If the oxygen concentration increases over time, a reassemblye of the chamber is needed.
