Source: Laboratories of Margaret Workman and Kimberly Frye - Depaul University Dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements calculate the amount of gaseous oxygen dissolved in surface water, which is important to all oxygen-breathing life in river ecosystems, including fish species preferred for human consumption (e.g. bluegill and bass), as well as decomposer species critical to the recycling of biogeochemical materials in the system. The oxygen dissolved in lakes, rivers, and oceans is crucial for the...

Source: Robert M. Rioux & Suprita Jharimune, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Working with extreme temperatures, both high and low, is an integral part of many laboratory operations. For many, mentioning a laboratory instantly evokes the mental picture of a Bunsen burner. Bunsen burners and hot plates are used extensively in small and large operations in research laboratories and industries, thus making it necessary for all users to be aware of their safe handling...

Detecting Reactive Oxygen Species

2023
Reactive oxygen species are chemically active, oxygen-derived molecules capable of oxidizing other molecules. Because of their reactive nature, there are many deleterious effects associated with unchecked ROS production, including structural damage to DNA and other biological molecules. However, ROS can also be mediators of physiological signaling. There is accumulating evidence that ROS play significant roles in everything from activation of transcription factors to the mediation of...

We present an experimental procedure for measuring the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in cerebral vasculature based on oxygen-dependent quenching of phosphorescence. Animal preparation and imaging procedures were outlined for both large field of view CCD-based imaging of pO2 in rats and 2-photon excitation based imaging of pO2 in mice.

FAQs
Selection should match the patient’s oxygen demand, the expected duration of use, available storage, and the care environment. Compressed-gas cylinders, liquid oxygen, and concentrators present different supply and operational considerations, so planning must account for continuity from the source to the delivery device. This approach helps align equipment capacity with hospital, ambulance, or home-care requirements.
Flow and pressure regulation helps maintain a suitable oxygen supply between the source and the patient’s delivery device. If these parameters are not managed appropriately, the system may fail to provide the intended support or may not match clinical demand. Monitoring and adjustment therefore connect equipment operation with reliable respiratory care rather than treating the source as an isolated component.
Depletion, leaks, and equipment interruptions can reduce or stop oxygen delivery, even when a source is initially available. Oxygen Source Management addresses these risks by tracking supply status and checking the pathway for failures. Detecting problems before reserves are exhausted supports timely replacement or correction and helps prevent treatment delays in hospitals, ambulances, and home-care settings.
Compressed-gas cylinders, liquid oxygen, and oxygen concentrators require different planning for supply, storage, duration, and equipment operation. The appropriate choice depends on the setting and the expected demand rather than on a single universally preferred source. Comparing these factors helps clinicians and care teams prepare a system that can sustain delivery under the conditions in which it will be used.
Planning begins by estimating oxygen demand and the required duration, then selecting a source that fits those needs and the care setting. The team accounts for storage, regulates flow and pressure, and verifies the connection to the delivery device. Continued monitoring for depletion, leaks, or interruptions completes the process and supports uninterrupted respiratory care.
Its importance extends across hospitals, ambulances, and home care, where oxygen demand, storage conditions, and equipment availability can differ. In each setting, preparation must support continuity from source to patient while allowing staff to recognize depletion, leaks, or interruptions. Strong operational planning improves readiness and reduces the risk that a supply problem will delay respiratory treatment.
