Laboratory method for determining the microbial soil respiration according to DIN 19 737.

Soil respiration measurements are used for forecasting, surveying and checking remediation work, for biodegradability measurements of substances (pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, etc.) and for carrying out toxicity tests.

Thanks to specially designed, test-proven vessels, these measurements are made accurate and simple with the OxiTop® Control System. A cost effective alternative compared to conventional methods.

Soil respiration measurements can be carried out in 2 different vessel types. For actively respiring soils with strong CO2 development, the MG 1.0 measuring vessel is recommended: its large opening (approx. 100 mm/ 3.9 in dia.) easily fits large-volume CO2 absorber vessels for later quantitative CO2 determination.

• Simple and precise

• Cost-efficient

• Optimum measuring vessels for subsequent quantitative determination of CO₂
